LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Attorneys summoned before a federal judge made headway Friday toward ending a stalemate over a detained shipment of hemp seeds that spurred the Kentucky Agriculture Department to sue the federal government, a top department official said.
Discussions presided over by U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II didn’t resolve the dispute over the 250 pounds of seeds from Italy meant to be planted as part of test projects to gauge the crop’s viability. The seeds are still being detained by U.S. customs officials in Louisville.
