In Oklahoma, you must be licensed by the Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry (ODAFF). However, before you can even apply for a hemp grower’s license, according to ODAFF’s website, you first must “establish a relationship with a University or college that belongs to the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education and has a plant science curriculum.” Once this relationship is established, you can apply to the Department to receive a license for each planned cultivation site.
Having this relationship will be a huge benefit to the hemp farmer, as they will advise you on how to grow a successful crop, which pesticides are allowed, and much more.
Although industrial hemp can be used for many products, the most profit will be gained from selling the crop for CBD. Therefore, the choice of seeds or clones used to plant your field is very important. You want seeds/clones with proven genetics, which can give you plants with the highest amount of CBD. But because your crop will need to be tested, it’s also important your crop has no more than 0.3% THC, which is the current legal limit.
We recommend learning as much as possible about the regulations for growing hemp in Oklahoma, as well as how to grow a successful crop, before every applying for the license.
We also recommend making sure you have a buyer for your crop, before making this investment in time, money, and space.

Where to Get Licensed to Grow CBD In Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry is responsible for regulating the state’s hemp program. Farmers will need to apply for licensing through this department in order to cultivate hemp commercially. Licenses are valid for one year and will require annual renewals. In order to stay compliant, we recommend checking with this department regularly for any regulatory updates.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]

Oklahoma Regulations for Growing CBD Clones & Seeds
The main two regulatory agencies that regulate growing CBD clones and seeds are ODAFF and the USDA. Both of them are full of important and valuable information, which is yours for the reading!
Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry (ODAFF)
If you want to grow industrial hemp/CBD in Oklahoma, this website should be your first stop. Growing hemp is not like growing hay, in terms of the many government regulations. Please educate yourself fully to stay on the right side of the law, and give yourself the best chance of bringing a successful crop to market.
Here are some of the useful links and articles you will find on this site:
- Industrial Hemp Grower’s License
- Industrial Hemp Law and Rules
- Industrial Hemp Harvest Report
- How to create your 2020 Hemp Application map and GPS coordinates
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA): This government agency sets out the federal regulations for the growing of industrial hemp. Their site is a goldmine of useful and fascinating information, including:
- Hemp Program Overview
- Information for Producers
- Information for Sampling Agents
- Information for Laboratory Testing
- Hemp Analytical Testing Laboratories
- Frequently Asked Questions
- Rulemaking Documents
And last but not least, stay easily up to date with the changing federal regulations for CBD seeds and clones by signing up for the USDA’s email update list.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2837″ img_size=”300×400″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInRight” el_class=”hide-mobile”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2838″ img_size=”300×400″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInLeft”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Oklahoma’s Hemp Biomass Transportation Laws
Oklahoma currently does not have any regulations regarding transporting hemp biomass. However, we always recommend carrying your grower’s license and batch COA showing a legal THC limit with every shipment. Having as much information with you regarding where the hemp biomass originated and where it is destined to is always helpful. This can help mitigate any misunderstandings if you happen to run into any law enforcement on your journey.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Regions of Oklahoma Where CBD Is Grown
Wheat and greenhouse/nursery products are the top two agricultural products grown in the fertile soils of Oklahoma.
However, in 2019, ODAFF licensed 359 industrial hemp/CBD growers, with fields stretching across 21,635 acres, statewide. That number is expected to rise for 2020.
The very first CBD crops were harvested in Guthrie.
Industrial hemp can thrive in a variety of different climates, elevations, and types of soil. This means it can be successfully grown anywhere in Oklahoma that is currently used for other agricultural products.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2839″ img_size=”300×400″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInRight” el_class=”hide-mobile”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5946″ img_size=”300×400″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInLeft”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Oklahoma Agricultural Regions for Cultivating CBD Hemp
Oklahoma has several agricultural regions in which hemp can thrive:
- Western High Plains
- Southwestern Tablelands
- Central Great Plains
- Tallgrass Prairie
- Crosstimbers
- Caves and Prairie
- Ozark Highlands
- Ozark Forest
- Hardwood Forest
- Ouachita Mountains
- Cypress Swamps and Forests
When you’re ready to purchase CBD seed, make sure to speak to your supplier about your agricultural region in order to find the best strains for your climate and topography.

CBD & Hemp Resources for Oklahoma Farmers
Learn more about all the different local and federal resources available for hemp farmers on cultivation, CBD regulations, and more. It’s always a good idea for beginner hemp farmers to find a few organizations to join to help network and find the support they need for potential buyers.
Oklahoma-Based Hemp Organizations
- Oklahoma Cannabis Industry Association: According to their website, “The OCIA conducts constant industry research and data collection to provide the best information to our members and policymakers, as well as, regular networking events, educational forums, and supply chain growth opportunities.”
- Hemp for Oklahoma: Part of Vote Hemp, this Facebook page says “Education and Information for supporting Industrial Hemp in Oklahoma. Assistance for pilot programs as outlined by the Dept of Agriculture and HB 2913.” Vote Hemp is “a national nonprofit advocacy organization dedicated to a free market for industrial hemp, low-THC varieties of Cannabis, and to changes in current law to allow U.S. farmers to grow the crop.”
National Hemp Resources
- Hempstead Project Heart: Hempstead is an educational, environmental, and economic advocate for industrial hemp. This organization strives to raise awareness of industrial hemp for tribes and local communities. By focusing on raising awareness on the benefits of hemp, Hempstead hopes to help redevelop successful hemp economies and connecting tribal, urban, and rural communities. Farmers can find more general information regarding hemp if they’re interested in learning more about the industry and finished product opportunities.
- National Hemp Association: Membership is available for entrepreneurs, farmers, professors, researchers, manufacturers, investors, organizations, and businesses involved in the hemp industry. This is an excellent resource for beginner farmers and experienced farmers alike looking to joining an extensive network. Since this association serves farmers, processors, businesses, manufacturers, and researchers, you can connect with different individuals from various sectors of the industry. While local organizations are always important, having a national network can help you expand your business and find potential biomass buyers. From member directories to state-specific resources, this is a wonderful starting point.
- Hemp Industries Association: Hemp Industries Association has worked as a hemp advocacy group for almost 30 years. The organization has fought to legalize and establish hemp as a federal commodity through legal action, advocacy, and education. They offer a great trade association for hemp farmers with reasonable membership pricing. Membership benefits include incredible networking benefits with other individuals in the industry as well as lawmakers. With significant educational resources and highly transparent access to other members, hemp farmers can create connections and find invaluable information.
- US Hemp Roundtable: This coalition of leading hemp companies and organizations is committed to safe hemp and CBD products. The US Hemp Roundtable works with political officials for passing legislation that supports both hemp farmers and consumers. This organization also provides education and advocacy to help create a viable path for safe, legal hemp-derived products. Gain access to complimentary state action, industry updates, and federal resources when you sign up for their newsletter.
- US Hemp Authority: Achieve better credibility, compliance, and more by getting certified through the US Hemp Authority. If you’re only interested in growing hemp then selling your biomass to a buyer or processor, this certification is not for you. This resource is for Oklahoma farmers that plan on producing CBD in-house or would like to sell hemp-derived products. For farms interested in branding themselves and selling directly to consumers, having a US Hemp Authority certification can provide better trust for your customers. Since the CBD industry is currently unregulated, this certification provides assurances that your growing and manufacturing standards are high.
- US Hemp Growers Association: Gain access to hemp research and incredible resources that help farmers stay up to date on regulatory developments, certified CBD seed, and more. This farmer-specific national organization is great for connecting with other licensed growers and certified crop advisors. They offer a free six-month trial membership and have various membership levels to choose from. With comprehensive educational resources, this can be a great jumping-off point for novice hemp farmers. US Hemp Growers Association also provides extensive industry and regulatory resources in addition to events you can attend.
- American Trade Association for Cannabis and Hemp: The trade association is a great place for both marijuana and hemp industry professionals. Their mission is to professionalize industry representation. Unlike the other hemp-specific associations, this one provides support for both cannabis industries. This can provide a wonderful networking opportunity for fellow individuals in the hemp industry as well as the marijuana industry. By focusing on advocacy and education, ATACH hopes to make cannabis mainstream and provide professional industry representation.

Hemp Biomass Selling Tips for Oklahoma Farmers
- Hire a hemp broker: There are licensed hemp brokers that can help you negotiate the best price for your hemp biomass. You’ll want to look for an experienced individual with many connections in the industry and a great track record. Organizations like Oklahoma Hemp Brokers can potentially help you with buying opportunities.
- Presell your biomass: This is an ideal option since the window for selling your harvested biomass is short. Having a buyer lined up can help alleviate stress post-harvest while giving you the competitive advantage of growing specific strains that potential buyers are looking for.
- Sell directly to buyers: If you have the connections, it may be a good idea to cut out the middle man. Selling directly to buyers can help you maximize your profits but it will require more work.
- Profit-sharing agreements: For farmers interested in joining the hemp industry but don’t have the upfront finances, profit-sharing agreements may be a good option for you. Profit-sharing works by finding a buyer willing to pay for all upfront costs and recoups these expenses after harvest.
- Hemp future contracts: This type of agreement is signed before you start your season with a set price arranged for your biomass. While the price provided in future contracts is usually less than the price available with the open market, this is a good option for better stability and minimizing fluctuation risks.
- Networking: Joining a hemp association or attending a hemp trade show can offer networking opportunities for connecting with potential buyers. The more places you can find to network, the more opportunities you’ll find.
