Christian County’s first hemp planting in more than 50 years is set for Tuesday, but questions continue to circulate about permits and the availability of seeds for two of the three local pilot plots.
Former state Sen. Joey Pendleton; Rachel McCubbin, a local farmer who’s also Sen. Rand Paul’s deputy state director; and Davis Farms in Pembroke are supposed to be participating in the project. However, as of Friday afternoon, only McCubbin had received approval from the state’s Department of Agriculture to continue with the planting.
