More farmers jumped off the hemp bandwagon for a second consecutive year, causing a dramatic drop in acres dedicated to growing the crop in 2021.
This decline follows the production boom in 2019 that outpaced consumer demand and filled storage barns across the U.S.
Continued uncertainty about federal regulations on hemp-derived CBD, an immature supply chain, risky farming conditions in a record drought year, low wholesale prices and a surplus of leftover flower and biomass from past seasons were all factors that played into a significant reduction of hemp acreage this year.
As of late September, U.S. producers licensed an estimated 284,793 acres in 2021.

After more than two years of fits-and-starts construction, a 64-year-old retired mechanical engineer, Bob Clayton, completed what is likely the first hemp house in Florida in 2014.

"The estimated $350,000 price tag is high, even with the granite finishes, maple cabinets, and hickory floors, but Clayton said that cost would come down with a trained labor force working with materials grown stateside.⠀

On this day over 100 years ago - Oct 14th, 1916 - the US government issued a warning about the dangers of relying on wood pulp paper, as wood is highly unsustainable. To replace the increasingly heavy reliance on wood, the USDA bulletin No.404 was created to encourage the use of hemp for paper rather than trees. ⠀

FDA Commissioner Hahn makes first public comments on CBD On February 26th 2020, FDA Commissioner Hahn gave his first public speech at the NASDA Winter Policy Conference. He addressed the topic of CBD products and acknowledged that these products are here to stay. "People are using these products. We're not going to be able to say you can’t use these products. It’s a fools game to try to even approach that.” Commissioner Hahn went on to say "We have to be open to the fact that there might be some value in these products and certainly American’s think that’s the case. But we want to get them information to help them make the right decisions.”
We applaud Commissioner Hahn for acknowledging the fact that many American’s are using hemp extracts and that they are not going away. We urge the FDA to stop claiming CBD products are illegal and begin regulating them the same as any other food or dietary supplement. The industry is ready to work with you to help study this further and fill in the missing gaps but we can’t wait for years for that to happen given that consumers are using them.
