Letter: Enlightenment on history in the walls

Kenny Davis writes:
The top picture looks like a plaster and lath interior wall. We are renovating a house in New Orleans that was built around 1900 that has this material in it.

Plaster and lath continued to be used until drywall came along. The other side of the wall in the picture would be the finished side. --Kenny Davis

Quarles helps craft new national hemp policy

State Ag Officials Call for Consistent, Uniform Regulation

Arlington, VA - Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles on Tuesday applauded a national organization of government agriculture officials for adopting a new hemp policy that recognizes its economic potential and encourages uniformity in regulation. Commissioner Quarles authored the policy based on Kentucky's existing hemp regulatory framework.

The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) adopted the new policy at its annual Winter Policy Conference.

"Updating our hemp policy to ensure consistency in testing and regulation serves states by anticipating and addressing challenges before they develop," said Commissioner Quarles. "It's important that we are proactive in our policy-making so that paths are clear and opportunities are present for hemp growers. As second vice president of NASDA, I was honored to write this policy platform to ensure consistent national hemp regulatory standards."
