Ananda Hemp marketing director explains why to FEI-Louisville
Reporter David Mann covered the Feb. 12 FEI-Louisville meeting.
"Kentucky had 33 acres of hemp growing in 2015.
"Back then, I'm sure we thought it was a big deal to see such a large swath of soil devoted to a plant that, decades ago, had been declared illegal.
"This year, 42,000 acres of this crop are expected to be planted in Kentucky, according to Samantha Timmerman n, marketing manager for Ananda Hemp Ltd., a grower and manufacturer that operates out of Cynthiana, Ky. Timmerman spoke Tuesday afternoon to the Louisville chapter of Financial Executives International at the Louisville Water Tower."
