(\"GHG\" or the \"Company\") (CSE: GHG / OTC: GBHPF / FRANKFURT: GHG) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Covered Bridge Acres Ltd. (CBA), has begun planting at its Scio, Oregon hemp farm.

This season, to be more environmentally friendly and to prepare for organic certification, biodegradable plastic mulch was brought in from Canada to eliminate the end of season environmental waste issue and reduce labour costs associated with its removal from the field. \n\n \n \nHemp plants that will be used for this year's cultivation have been produced from either sprouted seed or CBA's cloning operation done onsite at the Company's greenhouses in full control of the CBA team. Genetics being used this year are higher quality and more stable than those planted last year. The team expects to plant 40,000 to 50,000 plantlets this year, with a CBD content ranging from 12% to 15%. Any excess clones not required for the field will be sold or used for expansion. This year's cloning operation has eliminated the need to purchase clones from third parties as was required last season. This will reduce operating expenses in the current year by approximately US$200,000. \n\n \n \nThe CBA team continues to prepare the greenhouses for perpetual harvest to produce high quality smokable hemp flower. Trimmed, high end flower, with less than 0.3% THC currently wholesales for ten times the price of CBD biomass that is going to extraction.\n\n \n \nMatt Calkins, President of Covered Bridge Acres commented, \"The CBA team has worked really hard this year to be able to get plants into the ground well ahead of last years crop. Starting more than 30 days earlier this year, we expect to produce larger hemp plants which should translate to significantly larger quantities of biomass\".\n\n \n \nWebsite & Instagram\n\n\n \nThe Company has recently updated its website https://globalhe...
