PREMIERE PARTNER
NHA and HFC are motivated to benefit the entire industry by opening new markets for hemp and its co-products by gaining federal approval for its use as an animal feed ingredient. Historically, we have successfully worked on projects together and recognize the opportunity to share resources and expand the footprint of advocacy and education centered around hemp as a nutritious animal feed product.

The National Hemp Association is the definition of a KEY industry group to support from all the game-changing work they do building a community of individuals & businesses to facilitate the growth of the hemp industry to their extensive collaborative work with government officials & the scientific community to implement much needed industrial hemp standards & regulations.
Grove Bags joined NHA this past year and has loved being a part of the invaluable ecosystem they’ve built, leveraging their Member Forum to get in direct contact with our core customer demographics and sharing our thought leadership insights with the industry as a whole through our educational blog contributions to the NHA network. Thank you Anna & The NHA Dream Team for all that you do!
NHA is worth supporting for their progressive hemp policy lobbying alone; but it is also a living, breathing community of real people from every walk of hemp-related life, and has offered Ai Vacuum, the botanical division of Across International, a fantastic opportunity to connect with processors that benefit from our extraction and laboratory equipment solutions! Grateful every day to be a part of this industry NHA acts as the face for and unites once a month to discuss issues relevant to us!
Being a member of the National Hemp Association has been extremely resourceful for our team at 357 Hemp Logistics. Educational and informational with a community feel would be the best way to describe our experience. We met Anna and her team at the Texas Hemp Convention and immediately knew they were the type of people we wanted to surround ourselves with as we grew our company within the logistics component of the hemp supply chain.
NHA Initiatives
We believe the only way to grow and progress in this promising industry is to become a united front. Developing these different but important initiatives adds value and support from the National Hemp Association and the subcommittees formed. From social equity to domestic hemp organizations to international collaborations, we believe this is how we secure an equitable, cooperative, and innovative industry.

"The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently invited agriculture producers across the U.S. to respond to the 2022 Census of Agriculture by Feb. 6, 2023.
The Census of Agriculture is a survey collected every five years by the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) that “highlights land use and ownership, producer characteristics, production practices, income and expenditures,” and other topics, according to a press release.
Between census years, NASS looks at emerging trends and changes in the agriculture industry and updates the questionnaire based on its findings. With the last Census of Agriculture taking place in 2017, this is the first year the USDA NASS will be including hemp production data—as industrial hemp was federally legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill.
NASS also revised the survey to include questions regarding precision agriculture, hair sheep, and updates to internet access, according to the release.
“The 2022 Census of Agriculture is a powerful voice for American agriculture. The information gathered through the ag census influences policy decisions that will have a tremendous impact on ag producers and their communities for years to come,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “I strongly encourage all farmers, no matter how large or small their operation, to promptly complete and return their ag census. This is your opportunity to share your voice, uplift the value and showcase the uniqueness of American agriculture.”
