ND FARMERS RENEW HEMP LICENSES
BISMARCK, N.D. - Two North Dakota farmers who received the nation's
first state licenses to grow industrial hemp have been granted
renewals, though forces outside the state will largely decide whether
the farmers will ever get a crop in the ground.
David Monson and Wayne Hauge had state licenses in hand last year but
never got approval from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration. This year, they are hoping for a favorable ruling from the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a change of heart by DEA or action by
Congress. None is likely by spring planting season.
Hauge said Thursday he paid his $150 license renewal fee even though
he sees no possibility of seeding industrial hemp this spring. "We
just wanted to keep the licenses going," he said.
