Wisconsin will not continue its hemp pilot program in 2022.
Ag Secretary Designee Randy Romanski says DATCP’s plan is to transition from a state-run hemp program to a federally-run program now that USDA has finalized its hemp rules. “There seems to be an understanding that this transition provides hemp growers with the greatest opportunity to produce hemp in Wisconsin. That’s been our goal since day one, and this is the next step in that journey.”
Wisconsin Hemp Alliance President Rob Richard says this is absolutely the right decision by state officials.
