The purpose of this project is to collect 2020 hemp producers’ cost of production information for three target markets (fiber, grain, essential oil). Lack of available data is a well-documented problem for the nascent U.S. hemp industry even as more detailed data is needed for rulemaking (2018 Farm Bill, Public Law 115-334) and any associated guidance that may be forthcoming. This will be the 1st national survey of hemp producers to establish a baseline of production costs by region and intended market/supply chain channel. Currently many producers, processors, policymakers, and stakeholders are making decisions with either no data or minimal data. Information from this survey will be used in a variety of ways and is pivotal in understanding how to move this industry forward.
