Safe harbor for Idaho hemp growers

Beginning July 1, 2026, Idaho sets a safe harbor for hemp growers. You are not found negligent when all three rules are met. You grow hemp only for grain or fiber. You made reasonable efforts to stay within the state’s acceptable THC limit and follow Idaho’s hemp laws and state plan. Your crop tests at 1% total THC or less on a dry weight basis. This lowers legal risk and possible penalties for eligible producers.
