Here’s how to get started with becoming a successful hemp farmer in North Dakota.

How to Successfully Grow CBD Seed on Your Farm & Generate Profit

There’s definitely a substantial profit to be made from growing hemp in North Dakota. North Dakota has strong agriculture roots. It’s a great place for farming everything from corn to hay, and hemp grows as many other options.

If you want to be successful in your endeavors, you need to go into your first season educated and prepared. Here are some steps you can take to get started:

1. Read up on state laws. You need to know the 2018 Farm Bill and North Dakota’s Hemp Program inside and out.
2. Secure a license before buying seed.
3. When you’re ready to purchase hemp seed, vet suppliers carefully. Not all seed you find on the internet is high quality. You need pure seed with good genetics and high CBD content.
4. Make sure you have about 50 acres worth of land for growing. This is essential if you want your first season to be truly profitable.
5. Have your soil tested before you get started. This ensures that your soil is free of contaminants.
6. Determine your fertilizer strategy. Hemp needs substantial amounts of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and other nutrients.
7. Plant when the weather is warm and there’s low risk for frost. We recommend using a Monosem planter.
8. Keep the soil moist in early weeks to ensure good seed to soil contact. Then, adjust your watering strategy.
9. Test your seeds early and often. The last thing you want is to end up with hot plants at the end of the growing season.
10. Don’t wait until the last minute to find a processor. Talk to several and make arrangements early, before harvest.
