More than 50,000 additional acres have been approved for Kentucky hemp production in 2019.
Kentucky's agriculture department has approved an additional 110 hemp processor/handler license applications for 2019, and expects many more applicants as the industry is rocketing .
Kentucky has also approved more than 6 million additional square feet of greenhouse space for hemp cultivation.
