Growing hemp in any state in the US requires a thorough understanding of the local regulations and Missouri is no different. In order to properly and profitably take all the steps necessary to grow hemp (buying CBD seeds, selecting fertilizers, and processing the biomass) you must first have a clear picture of what the state of Missouri requires. Happily, there are a variety of sources out there, including our own experts here at CBD Seed Co.
Where to Get Licensed to Grow CBD Seed in Missouri
The Missouri Hemp Plan received official approval from the FDA in September of 2020. Now, farmers can legally grow hemp in the state so long as they adhere to certain requirements. This means that in order to get started with growing CBD seed on your Missouri farm, you will need to obtain a permit.
Applications to become a hemp producer in Missouri can be obtained online. You will need to download the necessary forms and mail them to the following address: Missouri Department of Agriculture, Industrial Hemp Program, PO Box 630, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0630
Along with these forms, you must also complete a criminal background check and pay the annual application fee. This fee is $750 and can be submitted in the form of a personal check, business check, money order or cashier’s check. Background checks must be submitted within 30 days of applying. You will need to provide the Missouri Department of Agriculture’s registration number, which is 8249.
If you want to sell hemp seeds, propagules, clones, or seedlings, you will also need to obtain a Seed Permit. This permit is only required if you are located in the state of Missouri and is not required for out of state seed sellers.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]

Cherry HD Feminized Seed
“][vc_tta_section title=”Description” tab_id=”1610673206799-eafcde63-f76f”][vc_column_text]
Since the CBD boom, Cherry has been a popular choice among growers. This is mainly due to the fact that it extracts very well. However, there is a catch when it comes to Cherry: it grows very slow. We set out to change this! We tested many different breeding combinations to increase vigor, size and strength of Cherry. Our goal was to improve the plant slightly without sacrificing terpene or cannabinoid content. When we were done, we ended up with we call Cherry HD. Cherry HD is a early finishing, bigger plant capable of competing with the weeds and creating a quick canopy. She has a sweet smell with a hint of funk.

Regions of Missouri where CBD is Grown
Hemp is a hardy plant and CBD seeds will grow in many climates. But, some places in the US are better for successfully growing it. It varies from state to state and sometimes region to region. In Missouri, you are lucky to have some of the most fertile soil in the country. In fact there are more than 100,000 farms in Missouri or two-thirds of the all the state’s land acreage. This means farms in the fertile Ozark Plateau to the Bootheel Region are all suitable for hemp farming. For a better understanding of your Missouri planting zone go here.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2741″ img_size=”300×400″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInLeft”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5004″ img_size=”300×400″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInLeft”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Missouri Agricultural Regions for Cultivating CBD Hemp
In addition to learning about all of the rules and regulations for growing CBD hemp in Missouri, farmers are also tasked with finding suitable land. Since hemp is a hardy crop, it will grow pretty much anywhere. However, certain conditions will dictate what varieties can be grown and/or when they should be planted. Some areas also have a natural advantage due to soil fertility, weather conditions, and/or climate. Here is some information about growing hemp in Missouri’s various agricultural regions:
- Southeastern Lowland: The Southeastern Lowland is by far the most productive agricultural region in the state. It is located in the Ozark Plateau, which is known for its desirable growing conditions. Cotton, rice, and soybean are all widely cultivated in this area. Many varieties of hemp should fare well in these conditions.
- Loess Hills:This region is known for its extremely fertile soil. Large scale hemp production is possible here due to the abundance of rural land and excellent growing conditions.
- Osage Plains: This area also produces a significant amount of Missouri’s agriculture. While the land is unlevel in some areas, others are well suited for growing row crops. Hemp producers may have good luck operating a small scale farm in this area.
- Springfield Plateau: The soil in the Springfield Plateau region isn’t as high quality as some other areas of Missouri, but it is still used for farming. With a little bit of research, farmers may be able to find the right land for hemp production. However, we recommend testing the soil before planting and fertilizing based on results.

Hemp Biomass Selling Tips for Missouri Farmers
Being a successful hemp producer requires more than just knowledge of cultivation techniques. You also need to know how to find a processor and sell your biomass at the right price. Here are some tips that can help you sell your hemp biomass successfully in Missouri:
- Work with a reputable seed distributor. If you want to sell your hemp to a CBD processor, it is absolutely vital that you plant high quality CBD hemp seed. Don’t choose a seed distributor just because of their prices. Instead, focus on quality. That way, you have a better chance of ending up with plants that are profitable to sell.
- Master the basics. It’s one thing to know the best practices for cultivating hemp. It’s another thing to use them. But if you want to get the highest price possible for your biomass, you need to make sure it’s good quality. Focus on your technique and you’ll end up with better results.
- Meet as many processors as possible. Network, network, network. The more processors you meet, the more negotiating power you have.
- Sign a contract at the beginning of the season. Don’t be afraid to sign an agreement with a processor before harvest. If the price is right and you’re confident that you can meet their requirements, go ahead and sell. You’ll save yourself a load of stress since you won’t have to panic at the last minute trying to find someone to sell your plant material to.
- Know how much your hemp is worth. This is a skill you will develop with time. However, when you’re just getting started, it’s important to be familiar with local market trends. Do your research to find out what price biomass is selling for in your area. That way, you don’t risk losing out on profits due to a bad deal.
