Schumer launched a new push to iron out a thorny issue for the burgeoning industrial hemp industry in Upstate New York. Even though the 2018 Farm Bill—including Schumer’s Hemp Farming Act of 2018—legalized the production and sale of industrial hemp, financial institutions have continued to question whether they can extend their services and products to industrial hemp-oriented businesses. Schumer explained that without access to traditional financial services, the industrial hemp industry Upstate and in Cortland County is being unfairly restricted, preventing further economic growth and the creation of good-paying jobs. To address this issue, Schumer requested that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Federal Reserve, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issue expedient guidance to financial institutions confirming the legality of providing services to the industrial hemp industry, to better help it seed and grow across Upstate New York.</p>"}}
