Whether you are brand new to farming or have decades of experience, industrial hemp has unique needs. Please learn as much as you can before diving in; this will ensure the most successful crop that will bring you the most profits.

The hemp plant has a long and interesting history, and can be made into a wide variety of products from paper to rope to fuel, currently most industrial hemp in the US is being grown for its CBD content. The market for CBD is expanding rapidly and most farmers discover that selling their crop for CBD will bring in a much higher return than for any other use.

Since industrial hemp was legalized with the 2018 Farm Bill, many states have submitted their growing plans to the USDA, which is in charge of the regulations for this crop. Wyoming now has its own hemp/CBD growing program. You can learn all the details on the Wyoming Department of Agriculture website, including what you’ll need to apply for and be granted a hemp growers license. Please make sure you understand the process fully before tendering your application!

We always recommend learning all you can about growing industrial hemp. If you are selling it for CBD, you’ll want to harvest your crop when it has the highest CBD content, because that is how you’ll make the most money. But also read up on the testing process and how to ensure that the THC content remains at or below the legal limit. Note that as of the time of this writing, CBD products can only contain up to 0.3% THC per dry weight. If your crop is tested and found to have a higher level of THC, it may be considered contraband and be destroyed. Obviously, this would be a tragedy and a waste of your labor, time, and money. One of the best ways to ensure a viable crop is with the use of CBD seeds and clones with proven genetics.

Where to Get Licensed to Grow CBD in Wyoming

Obtaining licensure is one of the first steps for becoming a hemp farmer in Wyoming. Licensure is necessary in order for your operations to be legal and compliant with the state’s agricultural regulations. To obtain a license, you’ll need to submit an application to the Wyoming Department of Agriculture.

On August 13, 2020, Wyoming finalized their rules for hemp farming. These rules are part of the Wyoming Administration Rules and can be found in Chapter 61 of the General Agency, Board or Commission Rules. As mandated by these rules, all prospective hemp farmers who wish to grow CBD seed in Wyoming must submit an application and receive approval before proceeding with cultivation.

In order to complete the application, you will need to submit information about your business entity. You will also be asked to provide details about key participants, your producing area, and your hemp processing area. If you are leasing the land on which you plan to grow hemp seed in Wyoming, you will also need to submit a landowner agreement. Currently, there is a $750 license application fee.

Wyoming Regulations for CBD Growing Clones & Seeds

When it comes to Wyoming CBD growing regulations, there are two sites you need: The Wyoming Department of Agriculture (WDA), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Between those two sites, you can stay abreast of all the laws and regulations, which seem to change every year. There is a large amount of useful info on each site, so we highly recommend checking them both out before getting started growing CBD seeds or clones.

Wyoming Department of Agriculture: Wyoming Hemp Plan. Some of the useful documents on this website include:

USDA Domestic Hemp Production Program: On this massive site, you’ll find a lot of great info about federal regulations as well as growing CBD seeds and clones, testing, and much more. They have some terrific webinars as well. Some of the links you’ll find on this site include:

Wyoming’s Hemp Biomass Transportation Regulations

Under Wyoming law, the possession and transportation of hemp is legal so long as licensing requirements are met. All hemp processors and handlers must keep ongoing records for all activities conducted as part of their operations. This includes detailed information regarding the sale and transportation of hemp products. Licensees must assign a unique number to each batch or provide some way to identify the batches clearly. Processors must also keep records of written agreements with growers.

Licensees are also required to keep detailed records regarding hemp intake. This includes information about the grower, the dates on which the hemp is received, the amount of hemp, and the variety. Licensees must also be able to provide Official Test Results. Processors must also keep records that detail what hemp products are being made and their final destination. All records must be kept for at least three years time. 

As of November 2020, it is not illegal to sell smokable hemp in Wyoming that meets THC requirements. However, certain entities are advocating for a change to this matter. There is currently a bill being drafted that prohibits the possession and transportation of smokable hemp.

Regions of Wyoming where CBD is Grown

Although Wyoming is mostly known for cattle and other livestock, there are plenty of other food crops being farmed as well.

Because the farming of CBD and industrial hemp is just getting started in 2020, it’s too soon to say where the hemp crops will be grown.

However, any area that currently has agriculture – whether hay, wheat, beets, or any other food crop – is a great place to add in hemp!

Farms in Wyoming are spread out across the state, including Laramie, Wheaton, Afton, Casper, Evanston, Albin, Torrington, and many more towns.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2938″ img_size=”300×400″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInLeft”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”4431″ img_size=”300×400″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInRight”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

Wyoming Agricultural Regions for Cultivating CBD Hemp

There are many regions of Wyoming that are suitable for hemp production.

  • Laramie: Laramie is known for its agricultural industry and is a large producer of wheat, corn, and beans. Laramie farmers will do well to plant hemp varieties that are hardy and will not suffer from frost. 
  • Wheaton: Like many other regions of Wyoming, Wheaton is known for producing sugar beets, barley, dry beans, and wheat. CBD rich hemp is a great choice for Wheaton farmers who are looking to diversify.
  • Afton: Though frost is a greater risk for farms in Afton, hemp will still fare well in this region. Farmers should plant early maturing varieties of hemp and use season-extension techniques.
  • Casper: Hemp is planted in the spring. Therefore, farmers in Casper will want to plant seedlings outdoors no later than June, though earlier is better. 
  • Evanston: Hardy grains, grasses, and alfalfa grow well in Evanston, so hemp farmers in this region should be able to produce a bountiful harvest. However, Evanston farmers who are located at higher elevations on hills should be cautious about frost and opt for a hemp variety that matures quickly.
  • Albin: Albin has been a hub for agricultural production in Wyoming for years. Farmers who cultivate wheat, corn, and other crops could benefit from growing CBD seed. 
  • Torrington: Many farmers in Torrington are finding great success from growing hemp. The area has strong potential to become one of the state’s top producing regions.

Tips for Selling Hemp Biomass in Wyoming

Being able to sell as much of your hemp biomass as possible is key for your success. Here are some tips that can help you with your efforts.

  • Set your prices: Before you begin negotiating prices with buyers, you’ll need to determine how much your hemp biomass is worth. The price of biomass is usually dictated by its CBD content. This is why it’s important to buy hemp seeds that are high in CBD to begin with.
  • Secure an agreement early: Many growers find that the best way to go about selling biomass is to establish a contract with a process before the growing season begins. This way, you’re not waiting until the last minute and desperately trying to find a buyer.
  • Network appropriately: Attend hemp industry events as a means of networking. The more processors you know, the better your chances are at being able to sell your biomass for a good price. 
  • Hire a professional: If you’re having trouble finding processors, you may want to consider hiring a professional who can help. Hemp brokers and consulting businesses will be able to help you get connected with processors and secure an agreement.
  • Buy high quality seed: Above all else, if you want to be a successful hemp grower in Wyoming, you need high quality CBD seed. High quality seed is more likely to result in harvestable crops that can be used for CBD extraction.
