Industrial Hemp Survey 

Industrial hemp (Cannabis satvia) has increasingly become a popular crop among numerous U.S. states that have initiated pilot programs to produce biomass, fiber, grain or non-intoxicating cannabidiol (CBD). By law, industrial hemp has less than 0.3% THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound of marijuana. Industrial hemp is primarily planted in-ground in outdoor fields, but crops destined for CBD are most often grown under controlled environmental conditions such greenhouses, high tunnels or indoors, e.g., shipping containers or warehouses. Regardless of production system, some growers have encountered production challenges or seek information related to production, culture, processing and handling, and marketing of industrial hemp. Therefore, researchers at Michigan State University aim to further understand production and identify production challenges with a confidential industrial hemp survey.
