Will a federal hemp ban kill Kentucky farms, businesses?

Pickup trucks with flatbed trailers rumble down a narrow gravel road under the late morning sun as harvest continues on Jay Grundy's Lebanon, Ky. farm. It's a late September day, and Grundy, a fifth-generation Kentucky farmer in Marion County, overlooks the rows of crops getting plucked from the ground, while just behind him, in a small greenhouse, seedlings are preparing to be planted next year. A century ago, the hearty plants dotting Grundy's 305-acre farm would have been tobacco. But in the face of dwindling tobacco sales and surging costs to keep his farm in operation, Grundy chose to take a risk eight years ago: He went all in on hemp. Congress, led by Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, legalized the versatile plant, desired for its multi-use harvest, high yield, and fast-growing season, in 2018. Grundy hopes he'll be able to pass down the farm to his two children one day, just like the generations before him, as his hemp production has increased annually, turning a profit for the farm. But that opportunity is caught in the midst of a political battle in Washington D.C., where a looming federal hemp ban threatens to upend nearly a decade of revitalization and growth
