Alabama Now Accepting License Applications for Hemp Growers

Applications are due Nov. 14.


The Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries is now accepting applications for industrial hemp licensing for the 2020 season. The state began its industrial hemp program earlier this year, following the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. 

In 2019, the state issued 216 hemp cultivation licenses.
