The USDA has approved the Indiana State Hemp Plan for commercially growing and processing hemp. In Indiana, hemp processing and production are regulated through the Office of the Indiana State Chemist (OISC).

The approved hemp plan takes OISC’s pilot hemp program and transitions it to a commercial hemp production program.

For the 2021 growing season, applications opened in November 2020. Applications will be available online utilizing the OISC’s new licensing application software. Find out more at www.oisc.purdue.edu by clicking on the “Hemp” link.

Indiana is one of 29 states with approved hemp plans.
