New Hemp Facility to Open in Kentucky
< 1 minute read
A leader in Kentucky’s hemp industry is making plans to open a hemp growers’ service center this year.
Brian Furnish, a tobacco farmer turned hemp grower, said he believes hemp as a farm commodity is ready for a storage facility similar to those used in the livestock, tobacco and grain industries.
“Right now, hemp producers are kind of stuck if they don’t have a buyer ready to take delivery when their hemp is harvested and dried,” he explained. “But if they can ship to a convenient facility where buyers are also engaged, it benefits everyone.”
