Warm Springs hemp plan in review at USDA

December 11, 2019

The 2018 Farm Bill allows U.S. states and tribes to apply for U.S. Department of Agriculture approval to administer regulatory authority over hemp production within their borders. The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs has submitted a hemp plan for their reservation to the USDA and await its review.

The State of Oregon has submitted a similar plan for hemp production and is also waiting for USDA review.

The growth of the U.S. industrial hemp market is predicted to grow from $4.6 billion in 2019 to $26.6 billion by 2025. Warm Springs hopes USDA approval will relieve some of the unemployment caused by business closures in recent years. The Kah-Nee-Ta resort closed last year and a reservation-owned timber mill closed in 2016.

The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs own Warm Springs Cannabis, which grows and processes cannabis for medical and recreational purposes.
