(Updated: June 19, 2025, 4:46 a.m.)

2/25/2020 - Several days ago the USDA Economic Research Service released a report on the Economic Viability of Industrial Hemp. It is based on a review of the state pilot hemp research programs. You can read the entire 77-page report or just the two-page summary. The report covers 2014 through 2019 and has some very interesting charts and graphs. If you are serious about growing hemp or being in the hemp business, I strongly suggest you read the whole report.
