Growing in Florida: With the state hemp program’s rules now filed for adoption
and approved by USDA, FDACS is accepting applications to grow industrial hemp
online at FDACS.gov/Cannabis. More information about growing hemp in Florida
may be found here.
Commissioner Nikki Fried has been a consistent champion of Florida’s emerging
hemp industry, appointing in 2019 the state’s first-ever Cannabis Director, hosting
five workshops and public hearings across Florida on hemp state rulemaking, and
working ahead of USDA to finalize rule development. Earlier this week, FDACS had
submitted the state’s hemp program to USDA for review and final approval.
