As previously announced, the Company entered into a lease agreement for an initial 12,960 sq. ft. of space in a 60,000 sq. ft. building in Belfast, Maine. The Company has engaged GGS Structures of Vineland Station, Ontario to outfit planting trays, which will house over 200,000 hemp seedlings for the 2018-growing season.

...Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that he will introduce legislation to legalize hemp as an agricultural commodity. The Republican made the announcement in his home state of Kentucky, which has been at the forefront of hemp's comeback. McConnell says the legislation would also remove the federal barriers in place, which will help expand the domestic production of hemp. It will also give hemp researchers the chance to apply for competitive federal grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, allowing them to continue their work with the support of federal research dollars.
