"After a seasonlong struggle associated with banking and financing their operations, hemp farmers and businesses can exhale now that federal and state financial institutions have loosened reporting restrictions on hemp banking and issued guidance to members.
The Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency as well as the Conference of State Bank Supervisors filed a joint statement notifying banks that they are no longer required to file suspicious activity reports (SARs) for customers who grow hemp in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Banks are now expected to follow standard procedures and file a SAR only when they believe one is warranted."

Hemp banking gets a boost as federal agencies remove red tape
After a seasonlong struggle associated with banking and financing their operations, hemp farmers and businesses can exhale now that federal and state financial institutions have loosened reporting restrictions on hemp banking and issued guidance to members.Can't have a cash crop without cash.

The S1084 Multistate Research Project is a hemp research consortium that includes researchers and extension specialists from over 30 institutions in 26 states, including Colorado State University, Cornell University, Oregon State University, North Carolina State University, the University of Kentucky, the University of Maryland, Virginia Tech, the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, the University of Vermont, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The University of Wisconsin, Madison is conducting a “Hemp National Needs Research Survey” to help identify hemp research and education priorities for the next three to five years. The results of this study will also be used to help with planning the “National Hemp Research & Education Conference” to be held in March 2020 with support from USDA NIFA.
Your input is critical to framing the conference agenda, guiding industry-university dialogue, and ultimately addressing challenges and opportunities in this emerging sector. Your participation would involve completing a brief survey.
This survey should be completed by stakeholders (owners, managers or other employees of farm, greenhouse or processing facilities), scientists, educators, and extension specialists who have responsibilities for the development, adoption, and success of the hemp industry.
The survey is voluntary and should take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Please try to complete this short survey in one sitting. If you start the survey and are unable to finish it, you can exit by simply closing the browser window. However, if you close your browser before finishing, when you return to the survey you will need to start again from the beginning because the survey will not retain your previous answers.
You can complete the survey by clicking the link below, or copying and pasting it into your web browser:
Hemp National Needs Research Survey
Your answers will be kept completely confidential, and will only be reported in group form so that no individual’s answers can be identified. If you have questions about the survey, you may contact me at 608-262-9796 or slrepinski@wisc.edu.
I encourage you to participate as soon as possible. Your input is greatly appreciated!

Before hemp and its derivatives were federally legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill, financial institutions were required to file suspicious activity reports (SARs) for accounts associated with the crop because it was a Schedule I controlled substance treated the same as marijuana.
But the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as well as the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, issued a statement on Tuesday updating banks on the legal status of hemp.
“Because hemp is no longer a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act, banks are not required to file a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) on customers solely because they are engaged in the growth or cultivation of hemp in accordance with applicable laws and regulations,” the memo states. “For hemp-related customers, banks are expected to follow standard SAR procedures, and file a SAR if indicia of suspicious activity warrants.”
In essence, the financial agencies said that while banks don’t have to accept hemp accounts, if they do, those clients shouldn’t be treated any differently than customers from any other legal industry."

“This has tremendous, tremendous potential, and all the excitement about growing and processing hemp, and creating lots of jobs, could go away if these rules are done in too narrow and restrictive a way,” he said.
Blah blah blah. Get the hell out of the way. Abrogate all cannabis laws. Eighty plus years of bullshit not enough?
there shouldn't be any regulations concerning hemp at all; no one is going to get high on hemp and anyone who tries will not try again
tax is theft!
Too bad no one takes them seriously anymore, stop the witch hunt and get to work.
Best thing for the Govt to do is just stay the fuck out of the way.

Hemp Education
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. ~Nelson Mandela
Much work still needs to be done with the general public, farmers and our elected officials about the nutritional, industrial, environmental and medicinal benefits of hemp. As laws change, research is conducted and commercialization begins, sharing information will be vital to ensure the hemp industry thrives. NHA is committed to advancing this awareness and knowledge.
Hemp Legislation
NHA’s main priority is the passage of comprehensive hemp legislation on a federal level. We also are here to help individual states with their hemp legislation. Stay tuned for important updates of how you can help pass HR3550, The 2017 Industrial Hemp Act!

Now is the time to start think about how hemp can be incorporated into your business plan. If you have an existing hemp business, an NHA business level membership is a great way to not only support our efforts but to promote your business tp thousands of hemp enthusiasts!
HEMP IS NOT MARIJUANA
One of the biggest misconceptions is believing that industrial hemp is the same thing as marijuana.
The two plants are the same species, but are more like first cousins and NOT identical twins.
“Hemp Can Save The Planet!”
– Jack Herer
Hemp is the most versatile plant on earth.
It can be used for food, medicine, biofuel, compostable plastics, building materials and more.
It is time for the full legalization of industrial hemp at the federal level.
