This hemp survey is the first of its kind in the United States of America, and it is not a  random event by any means. The hemp survey tagged “Hemp Acreage and Production Survey” was set up by the Department of Agriculture after getting permission from the White House earlier in the year. The survey was conducted for 20,500 hemp farmers. After permission was granted, an announcement was made in August by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) about the finalization of the forms, which will be sent out to the hemp farmers by mail.
