USDA’s NASS to Conduct Hemp survey

USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
will send the 2022 Hemp Production and Disposition Inquiry to South Dakota producers on January 19.
This follows a similar timeline used by NASS for the 2021 Hemp Acreage and Production Survey. Like
the 2021 questionnaire, this year’s survey will collect information on the total planted and harvested
area, yield, production, and value of hemp in the United States in 2022.
NASS estimated the total value of hemp production nationally at $824 million in 2021. Planted
area for industrial hemp grown in the open for all utilizations in the United States totaled 54,152 acres.
Area harvested for all utilizations totaled 33,480 acres.
