Missouri looks to begin growing industrial hemp

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — After the 2018 Farm Bill opened the door for growing hemp, Missouri is looking to get regulated growth of the crop going in the state.

The Missouri General Assembly passed legislation in 2018 to remove hemp from the definition of marijuana and list of controlled substances and create an Industrial Hemp Pilot Program to be implemented by the Missouri Department of Agriculture.
