Looking closer, however, you do need to apply and be licensed to do so. Found this to be interesting: https://kernza.org/wp-content/uploads/Obtaining-Seed-and-Becoming-a-Kernza-Grower-May-2022.pdf
Main takeaway; weeds are a problem, yields comparatively low. Royalties of $5/acre seems reasonable, assuming the seed is not massively expensive, and it actually takes & the plants live long enough. Wish I had the equipment & space to give it a try!
It massively depends on your local code enforcement officer. If they are a dick, don’t buy the property. If you haven’t met them yet, you will. You didn’t say where you are, so ymmv. If you’re in Maine, I dug my own, town approved primitive wastewater disposal, and could help.
