Planning to grow hemp this season? It\u2019s time to register. Whether you\u2019re growing, processing, or storing hemp, you will need to complete a hemp registration application<\/a> this season with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food, and Markets<\/a>. You can register your entire operation on a single registration form including growing processing, storage and dying. The registration requires you to provide GPS coordinates for the vehicle access points to your site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For growers, an aerial view map showing the location of indoor or outdoor cultivation areas is also required. The Agency has Guidelines<\/a> on how to use google maps to create such a map. For personal use, registration is $25, and for commercial growers, the license fee depends on the category and scale of production. See Frequently Asked Questions <\/a>which include an easy-to-use license fee calculator<\/a>. Whether you have 1 plant or 1 acre, industrial hemp cannot be grown legally unless you register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
