PALM BEACH, Florida, February 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The acquisition of land and other assets continues to be a trend in the developing cannabis industry as leaders strive to keep pace with rapidly growing demand due to the evolving marketplace.  As the demand for cannabis products and services in industry continues to rise at an unprecedented rate, Sector related performers continue to ramp up operations:  Future Farm Technologies Inc. (OTC: AGSTF) (CSE: FFT.CN), Canopy Growth Corporation (OTC: TWMJF)(TSX: WEED.TO), GB Sciences, Inc. (OTC: GBLX), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC) and Aurora Cannabis Inc. (OTCQB: ACBFF)(TSX-V: ACB.V).

Future Farm Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: AGSTF) (CSE: FFT.CN) is pleased to announce that it has closed on its previously announced definitive agreement to acquire a 15-acre parcel of land in Redland, Florida, in a county that is designated to legally cultivate, process and dispense cannabis. Redland is an unincorporated community within Miami-Dade County, with Biscayne National Park to the east and Everglades National Park to the west. Redland is primarily a Miami suburb and a major agricultural area. Miami-Dade County is referred to as the nation's "Salad Bowl" and "Winter Bread Basket."

"We are pleased to have reached this contract to acquire this prime parcel of land as it has a long history as a plant nursery, which was first established in 1963," says Mr. William Gildea, Future Farm Technologies Inc.'s CEO and Chairman. Florida's Legislature is beginning the process of figuring out how to implement Amendment 2, which allows for the expansion of legalized medical marijuana in Florida. The new law took effect on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017. The Florida Department of Health now has until June 3, 2017 to finalize its MMJ regulations and until September 3, 2017 to issue the first ID cards to patients. Amendment 2 was approved by 71 percent of Florida voters on Election Day, and will allow higher-strength marijuana to be used for a wider list of medical ailments.  Read this and more news for Future Farm Technologies at:  http://marketnewsupdates.com/news/agstf.html

With this acquisition, Future Farm Technologies has the potential, if fully licensed, to develop 15-acres of cannabis crops and is positioning itself to be a part of the Florida Cannabis market as it rolls out in 2017. If current state projections for the cannabis market size hold up to their $1.8B projection by 2020, Florida will have considerable demand for medical marijuana, even without factoring in the potential for recreational legislation.  

This is an exciting acquisition for Future Farm as the 15-acre farm is located in a designated legal grow zone with close proximity to Miami. Future Farm is in a unique position as a Canadian based company because it is poised to quickly commence operations within the United States rather than potentially wait years to become a licensed producer under Canadian law.
