Hemp Program under 2014 Farm Bill provisions for 1 more year

By Sean Southard

Frankfort, KY -- Agriculture Commissioner Dr. Ryan Quarles announced the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) will use 2020 as a year to transition from a hemp research pilot program to a commercial hemp program.

"The 2018 Farm Bill removed industrial hemp from the federal list of controlled substances, a move which has been a catalyst for hemp growers and businesses. Wisely, Congress also gave state departments of agriculture the option to operate state pilot programs for another year before submitting new plans to the U.S. Department of Agriculture," Commissioner Quarles said.

Farmers Market vendors get ready for 2020 season

Farmers Market on the Square (FM2) vendors met Thursday and got started preparing for the 2020 season which will run from April through October on the corner of Merchant and Campbellsville Streets in Columbia.

Darrell Andrew says farmers are already beginning to work on crops for this year. Some use greenhouses and growing tunnels to start cold crops, planting seeds in pots which will then be transferred to the ground.

Each farm, as well as individuals who wish to sell at the Market, have the opportunity to invest a hundred dollars and secure a booth for the whole season, or ten dollars to have a booth space for one day. There are about 30 Saturday events in the season, plus they offer Wednesday sales in the height of the growing season.
