The comment period on USDA’s interim final rule for hemp production has been extended until January 29, 2020.
USDA took the move after requests from several stakeholders who felt that more time was needed to offer their views on the regulation.
The comment period had been set to end December 30.
USDA’s Ag Marketing Service (AMS) has already received nearly 1,200 comments on the rule, many of them raising concerns that the sampling and testing protocols are unworkable and could undermine the growth of the hemp industry.
