Participants
See attachment for complete list of attendees.
The first day was dedicated to touring field sites, an oil extraction facility and both fiber and food processing companies across the state. The second day began with introductions and an overview of Kentucky's pilot program from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. Since so many new states were in attendance at this meeting, states were given an opportunity to update the group of their programs. That was followed by discussions of progress toward each objective, plans for assessing the first year's results and implementation of next year's activities. There was also a discussion of the plans for the upcoming national needs assessment for hemp funded through a USDA NIFA grant to a subset of participants of S1084.
