The Agriculture Office is the regulatory and compliance body for the Nez Perce Tribe Hemp Program. We license and audit hemp farmers growing within the boundaries of the Nez Perce Tribe Reservation. Our goal is to create a viable hemp system that promotes tribal sovereignty and provides business opportunity to tribal farmers and land owners. We also provide insight and data for the variety enterprise opportunities that are now available for The Nez Perce Tribe.
