With Kentucky farmers set to begin planting under the state's third year of hemp pilot research projects, a main industry association is hosting its second annual gathering of experts, farmers and backers at the University of Kentucky.
The Kentucky Hemp Industries Association hosted a slate of speakers Tuesday at the university's E.S. Good Barn.
Among those scheduled to speak is Kentucky Agricultural Commissioner Ryan Quarles.
"We want to make sure that Kentucky offers every resource that a thriving market will need." Quarles said in a statement. "The hope is that in addition to having plenty of farmers growing for the myriad of uses for hemp, we can attract processors and manufacturers who will buy and process Kentucky hemp, right here in in our state."
KYHIA is organized under the national Hemp Industries Association and promotes development and research to revive Kentucky's industrial hemp industries.
"The research efforts happening at UK are providing valuable information that is not only going to help farmers right here in Kentucky, but is leading in the field as a whole," said Josh Hendrix, KYHIA founder and director of business development for CV Sciences. "For those of us who are eager to establish a domestic supply source, their findings could be groundbreaking."
