Industrial hemp could be coming to Oklahoma's farmland.

Legislation that would allow farmers to grow the non-intoxicating plant sailed through a House committee Tuesday with a unanimous vote. House Bill 2913 now heads to the House floor.

The bill would create a pilot program overseen by the Department of Agriculture and Oklahoma's higher education institutions, allowing permits to grow hemp.

The state's narcotics enforcement agency signed off on the bill, said author state Rep. Mickey Dollens, because there will be strict requirements for farmers who grow it. For example, the GPS location of each hemp farm must be logged along with a permit acquired from the Department of Agriculture.
