			 Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, an agricultural hemp seed crop
			 that is grown for certification pursuant to NAC 587.450 to 587.491, inclusive,
			 must not be planted on land on which the previous agricultural hemp seed crop
			 grown was of the same kind, unless the previous agricultural hemp seed crop
			 grown was of the same variety and met all of the requirements for the same or a
			 higher class of agricultural hemp seed.
2. Each application for certification of an
			 agricultural hemp seed crop must indicate the types of agricultural hemp seed
			 crops, if any, grown on the land during the previous 3 years.
3. At least 2 years must elapse between the
			 destruction of any variety of agricultural hemp seed crop of dissimilar
			 adaptation on the land and the establishment of a new stand for the production
			 of agricultural hemp seed for certification on the land.
4. An agricultural hemp seed crop that is
			 grown for designation as breeder seed may be accepted upon approval by the
			 Department. A breeder class of agricultural hemp seed crop must not be planted
