WASHINGTON — Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Angus King (I-Maine) and U.S. Reps. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine, District 1) and Jared Golden (D-Maine, District 2) recently wrote to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, urging the agency to heed the formal comments and concerns of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry on the interim final rule on domestic hemp production.
“As you know, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 created a legal pathway for domestic hemp production. We appreciate that (USDA) published an interim final rule on Oct. 31, 2019, to implement those farm bill provisions, providing much needed certainty for hemp growers and businesses in Maine and across the country,” said the Maine delegation in the letter. “As (USDA) works on drafting a final rule, we respectfully request your consideration of DACF’s comments and concerns.”
