KDA: Hemp industry maturing, hit $193M in gross sales in 2019 By Sean Southard Frankfort, KY - Agriculture Commissioner Dr. Ryan Quarles has announced the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) has licensed 960 hemp growers to grow up to 32,000 acres and 150 hemp processors and handlers for 2020. The Department has also licensed 4.6 million square feet of greenhouse space for production. "Hemp continues to draw much attention, and these new numbers reflect an industry that is still maturing," Commissioner Quarles said. "The nation's hemp industry is reacting to a market which is evolving in the face of supply chain issues and the uncertain future of cannabidiol products after the Food and Drug Administration's years-long struggle to provide a regulatory framework for nutraceutical or food products. We will continue to work with our Cabinet for Economic Development to draw new investment for every sector of the hemp economy, including fiber and grain, into our state."

Letter: Outside dining area at Happy Cow Vonnie Kolbenschlag writes: This is a great idea as a way to eat outside. I've seen this done other places with the addition on the outside of the enclosure of large containers with fairly tall evergreens. This gives privacy and an added sense of being outside in a garden setting instead of in a parking lot. --VonnieComments re: New outdoor dining space in New Columbia 2020-05-30 12:51:48 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
