Future Farm Signs First Cannabis Grower From Puget Sound Energy Rebate Program

Vancouver, BC , Dec. 19, 2017 -- Future Farm Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “Future Farm”) (CSE: FFT) (OTCQB: FFRMF) is pleased to announce that its LED Canada division delivered its Scorpion grow lights to a Washington State licensed cannabis grower and Puget Sound Energy customer.  The grower worked with LED Canada to gain access to Puget Sound’s money saving rebate program, which will save the grower as much as 50% on his energy bill for using LED Canada grow lights.

“This is a major milestone for Future Farm and its Scorpion grow lights,” comments Scott McDermid, LED Canada’s manger. “Some of the largest growers in Washington State are finding the Scorpion grow lights to be the best grow lights in the industry.” Mr. McDermid continues, “The Company will also be launching an all-in-one home cultivation system using the same Scorpion LED lights for the Canadian market, which is expected to go recreational by July 2018.” Under the proposed law, Canadians of legal age will be allowed to grow up to four marijuana plants for their own consumption.

Commercial growers in Washington State have the ability to cut their power bills in half with the use of LEDs and by earning utility rebates for installation.

“Using LEDs is an investment that pays multiple dividends,” comments Bill Gildea, CEO of Future Farm. “Growers use roughly half the energy of those growers who use traditional lighting, but LEDs also help lower their cooling bills, a necessity due to the high heat out-put by traditional sodium lights. LEDs are coming on strong in the market right now, and we see a lot of growth potential.”
