Hemp Growing Drive

Even as Future Farm Technologies stock continues to edge lower, the Company continues to invest big on opportunities that have the potential to generate long-term value. The Company has already commenced the growing season at its 100-acre farmland in Hersey Maine, whereby it is growing hemp.The Company expects as much as 120,000 pounds of biomass once the plant matures with each plant expected to produce as much as one pound of biomass. Once harvested Future Farm Technologies intends to process the biomass into full spectrum hemp oil as well as CBD distillate and CBD isolate.In addition, Future Farm Technologies is projecting as much as 3 million hemp seeds in 2019 from its operations. Such a harvest would position the Company to be among the largest suppliers of high-quality hemp seeds in the country.

“We have been focused on caring for the seeds we are about to grow since we harvested them in 2018 because they have outstanding genetics that provide high propagation rates and high CBD content. It's always exciting for me, as a farmer and a manager, to see that first sprout,” stated Zachary Lapin, General Manager of Future Farm Maine.

Hemp Processing Partnership

In addition to the hemp cultivation drive, Future Farms has inked a strategic partnership with Northeast Processing. The Vermont-based hemp processing company has agreed to process and test all of the hemp growing at Future Farm 100 acres in Maine.Future Farm has already started building a pipeline of customers that would be able to purchase any extract, distillate, or isolate that comes into being once NEP completes processing works. The strategic partnership should allow NEP to provide customers with premium ingredients.

“This partnership with Northeast Processing allows for a scalable, efficient approach to processing, ensuring that our biomass receives the fastest, and most reliable care the northeast has to offer. It also positions Future Farm, once again, as an innovator in the rapidly growing demand for the sophisticated hemp-for-wellness customer base,” comments William Gildea, CEO of Future Farm.

Amidst the underperformance, the Company has continued to strengthen its prospects in the hemp industry, having already commenced cultivation on a 100-acre farm.The Company is on its way to becoming an industry leader when it comes to supply of hemp seeds as well as CBD distillate and extracts.
