The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently released guidelines for processing federal loans for the hemp industry.

The seven-page document describes the various requirements a hemp business must satisfy in order to access USDA’s lending services. Chief among those requirements is for a prospective borrower to be licensed under a USDA-approved state or tribal hemp program, or under USDA’s basic regulations if the jurisdiction the business operates in has not submitted its own rules.
