Experts Say Opportunities Lie Ahead for Hemp In Kentucky

Listen Later

Kentucky's hemp industry is booming, reporting a $41 million growth in sales last year when compared to 2017. The passage of the federal 2018 Farm Bill effectively legalized the crop and opened it for research and farming. WFPL's Rick Howlett talked with industry experts about the crop and how it might affect Kentucky's agricultural landscape. Our guests were:

  • Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles
  • University of Louisville Researcher Jagannadh Satyavolu
  • Kentucky Hemp Heritage Alliance Founder Alyssa Erickson
