#1: Headed up to Mt. Vernon, Kentucky for the first hemp planting in Kentucky in a long time.
Although hemp cultivation has been included in the Farm Bill, (that would be the US Congress saying it's all right) opposition from various groups who think it's marijuana- you know: the devil's weed- are popping out of their holes.
We will be there to photo document the planting and voice record interviews and interactions as they occur.
(Does anyone really think the DEA is going to bust a bunch of veterans for planting a crop that the US Congress has approved of?) #rhetorical
