AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Hemp policy push: Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) introduced the Lawful Hemp Protection Act to set a clear federal framework for hemp-derived consumer products, including U.S.-grown sourcing, testing/labeling standards, a ban on synthetic cannabinoids, and age limits to keep products away from kids. AI + data center fight: A company behind a proposed $4.8B hyperscale data center near Mammoth Cave sued Cave City after local leaders moved to delay the project, keeping Kentucky’s AI infrastructure debate front and center. Digital workforce investment: The University of Louisville launched the Kentucky Center for Digital Innovation with $10M in state funding to expand cybersecurity and AI research, plus workforce development and industry partnerships. Energy + industry pressure: Trump exempted two Kentucky chemical facilities from tougher EPA air rules, pushing compliance deadlines out by at least two years. Food safety watch: The CDC reported the Cyclospora outbreak count rose to 6,707 confirmed cases, with a separate lettuce-linked cluster still under investigation; Kentucky is among the affected states. Local infrastructure: I-65 in Louisville reopened ahead of schedule with lane closures and ongoing work through mid-2027. Agriculture on the ground: The Kentucky Dairy Development Council held the Riney Dairy Field Day in Springfield, highlighting dairy operations and silage demonstrations. Farm safety loss: Dale Dobson, longtime “Mr. Farm Safety,” died.
