It is now a federal statute to create an FSA “lot” number and report your hemp plantings to CDA as well as FSA.
Contact the local FSA office to create a farm record. If transplanting the hemp crop, FSA will not issue a lot number until the hemp is in its final location within your registered land area (“RLA”). If your hemp crop acreage is solely planted outside within your RLA, a crop report will need to be completed with FSA after planting.
For more details about registering with the FSA and other Hemp Program requirements, please refer to the frequently asked questions on our website or contact hemp@state.co.us.
The deadline for hemp producers to register with FSA is July 15, 2024.
You must call your local FSA Office to be added to the Crop Reporting Register. Failure to register with FSA is a violation of Hemp Rule 8 CCR 1203, Part 3.7 and may result in a civil penalty.
