Abstract
Hemp regulations in the United States have become increasingly inconsistent since the 2014 Farm Bill reintroduction of this novel crop. A content analysis was performed to analyze the terms and definitions presented by state and tribal hemp production plans, the USDA Hemp producer license, and the 2014 pilot plan. Results suggest significant discrepancies between hemp production plans, which have been exacerbated by extending the 2014 Farm Bill language into the 2018 Farm Bill timeframe. Suggestions for how to mitigate these inconsistencies are provided based on the content analysis findings.
