/EINPresswire.com/ -- VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - Jun 8, 2017) - Future Farm Technologies Inc. (the "Company" or "Future Farm") (CSE: FFT) (OTCQB: FFRMF) is pleased to announce that its longtime director, Scott McDermid, has taken on the role of managing LEDCanada, a Canadian LED manufacturer and distributor of commercial-grade LED lighting bulbs, fixtures, lamps, retrofits, and more. LED Canada's prior manager, Rob Huston, is moving to the role of technology officer. Last month the Company announced that it sold out of its exclusive line of Scorpion LED COB Grow Lights, which recently passed Intertek's ETL certification process. With Mr. McDermid's experience as a successful manager, Future Farm is now able to quickly and seamlessly implement its planned sales and marketing strategy for LED Canada into the flourishing North American cannabis cultivation market.

Mr. McDermid is a seasoned manager and real estate investor currently managing over $250,000,000 in real estate holdings across North America. He holds two degrees, one in sales and marketing and the other in business management, both from British Columbia Institute of Technology. "With our new LED Canada website (ledcanada.com) now live, I decided it was time to jump on board as we may now aggressively move forward into the fast-growing cannabis LED lighting market," comments Mr. McDermid. "We are just finishing up the testing of our grow lights and will be sharing the results in the next two weeks. We expect the results will position our Scorpion grow lights as the best LED grow light value in terms of grams per watt in the cannabis market today."

"Having Scott on board as manager brings substantial opportunities to LED Canada, as he not only brings proven sales and management skills, but also strategic synergies," comments Bill Gildea, Chairman & CEO of Future Farm. Mr. Gildea continues, "We are lucky to have him join us during our rapid growth stage. Scott is in discussions with some of his tenants whom are licensed growers for large-scale orders of the Scorpion LED grow lights. Currently LED Canada is fielding multiple requests from growers both in the United States and from licensed producers in Canada whom are intrigued by the substantial money savings attained with LED grow lights, as well as the value in terms of grams per watt."

As previously announced, Future Farm is currently installing its Scorpion LED grow lights in a California cultivation facility and will be posting a video of this cultivation operation with investors in the coming weeks.

On behalf of the Board,
