Farming status, plans, and practices

I need to lease non-residential land to acquire a hemp license. From there I am submitting a Federal Farm Ownership Loan with the Department of Agriculture.

The issue is, I need a license to obtain the loan and buy the property, and they won't issue a license unless you own or rent the land.
