Crop Infrastructure Corp. announced that its 49% owned subsidiary, Elite Ventures ("Elite") reported that Hempire, the company's Nevada tenant, has been issued with a 2019 hemp handler, hemp nursery and hemp grower licenses covering 1,350 irrigated acres on its 2,115 acres of owned or leased CBD focused lands. A hemp handler is defined as a person who is registered by the licensing department to receive industrial hemp for processing into commodities, products or agricultural hemp seed. The company chose to apply for its hemp grower licence, nursery and hemp handler licence in anticipation of its lab extracting and producing CBD isolate with a throughput capacity of one ton per day of raw biomass. Furthermore, the company increased the acreage size covered by its hemp licences from 240 acres of cultivation in 2018 to 1,350 acres of irrigated cultivation for 2019. 50,000 square feet of greenhouses are being erected to complement the plant starts coming out of the recently completed genetics laboratory.
