Ask the Experts: Hemp Farming in Montana

Many farmers in Montana are interested in growing hemp seed, but aren’t sure where to start. In an effort to help shed some light on these matters, we’ve provided answers to some commonly asked questions regarding hemp cultivation.

Q: Do you need a license to be a hemp farmer in Montana?

A: Yes. In fact, you need more than one license. You need a Planting License for the first stage and a Production license for the second stage. If you intend to sell live plants, you will also need additional licenses such as a nursery license.

Q: How is hemp different than marijuana?

A: Hemp and marijuana are both cannabis plants. Both are being investigated for their potential therapeutic benefits. But they’re different because they contain different levels of cannabinoids. Marijuana has high levels of THC, which create an intoxicating effect. Hemp, on the other hand, has only trace amounts of THC and large amounts of CBD.

Q: How can I tell if CBD hemp seed is legitimate?

A: You can’t tell if hemp seed is legitimate just by looking at it. The seed needs to be tested. Reputable seed suppliers will have their products tested by an independent third party and will be more than happy to provide those lab results to you. Read them if you can. You can even pay for your own testing if you want to double check to make sure the results are correct. Always make sure you buy your seed from a trustworthy source.

Q: How much does CBD hemp seed cost? What about clones?

A: Feminized CBD hemp seed costs about $2,613 per acre. Clones cost about $10,890 per acre.

Q: How do I get started with growing hemp seed on my farm?

A: The first step to getting started as a hemp farmer in Montana is to buy CBD seed. Once you obtain your seed and know what variety you’ll be planting, you can submit an application to the Montana Department of Agriculture.
