According to the Department of Agriculture's website, "As of Dec. 27, 2019, the LDAF Industrial Hemp Program began accepting license applications to produce, transport and process industrial hemp in Louisiana." Mike Strain stated: “With the USDA approving our state industrial hemp plan, the pieces of the regulatory puzzle are falling into place. We are now able to move forward and begin accepting industrial hemp license applications.”
According to state and federal law, “Industrial hemp” includes all plant parts and varieties of the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of the plant cultivated or possessed by an industrial hemp licensee, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.
