Bluebird Botanicals is Now Sourcing Hemp Extracts from Kentucky
Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) February 07, 2017 -- Bluebird Botanicals announced recently via its website that it is now utilizing hemp extracts sourced from Kentucky. In early Spring of 2016, the company reached a buying agreement with a farm outside of Louisville that dedicated 30 acres of their cannabinoid-rich hemp to Bluebird’s operation. Bluebird Botanicals plans to scale up production volume in Kentucky in the coming years.
Kentucky runs a fully compliant hemp pilot program in accordance with Section 7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, more commonly known as the 2014 Farm Bill signed by President Obama in February 2014. Bluebird Botanicals is a legally approved buyer of the Kentucky-grown hemp.
The recent announcement further evidences Bluebird Botanicals’ continuing efforts to champion and support increased hemp legalization in the United States. Founder and CEO, Brandon Beatty, says, “It's a dream come true to now be able to source domestically, support American farmers, and be a part of the hemp revival in Kentucky.” The fertile soil of Kentucky combined with the affordability of land, higher yields, and a longer growing season make the state a cost-effective and efficient option for cultivating industrial hemp.
In the United States, the legal definition of industrial hemp is “the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of such plant, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.” This means it’s now legal to grow hemp in the United States and that processors can legally use the trichome rich flowers to create hemp products, if done pursuant to the 2014 Farm Bill.
