Please see our questions below: 

1.	Can you clarify the plan the USDA will assemble in the event a state law is more restrictive than federal law?  
2.	Will you support the manufacture and sale of CBD extract with other parts of the federal government notably FDA?
3.	What do we follow for 2019 plantings? 
4.	Will the USDA issue a letter of non-enforcement? 
5.	USDA is late in responding to submissions that were made by Penn, Kentucky and Tennessee.  Past the 60 day promise that would be awarded. Why the delay and what are plans to respond to states that have submitted plans? 
6.	Currently I do not believe any pesticides are approved for Hemp. With the USDA work with pesticide regulators to set rules?
