We planted all female Anka and it's a test 2 acres and we dont care if it sells. We are giving it away this year to see how it grows.. fiber only. I thought you were never going to grow hemp.
Doing your homework is key. There are a lot of great people in the community, so definitely reaching out to other farmers and starting out with a small number of plants your first year is a great way to go. Farming is unpredictable. This last year was our first year of planting and we lost about ¼ of our crop due to a freak snowstorm in Colorado. So you never know, you could do everything right and mother nature has it’s own plans….
Thank you for this great video. Loved the format, insights and great to see what other states are doing. Would love to attend that conference next year!
I just bought property and have 43 tillable acres. I want to use some or all of the land to try and grow the Hemp for CBD. Looking for tips and a business plan. ANy suggestions?
It cannot be so hard to grow. Non cannabis hemp was grown in Kansas in ww2. It still grows there in fallow fields and fence rows and is called ditch weed. I have seen plenty of it growing myself. If one grows hemp for harvesting for cannabis then how would one go about keeping the crop secure and not just from animals.
We are in the same boat. Asking lots of questions and doing our due diligence. What else have you learned since this convention? Can you please make another video with an update? Have you made a decision to proceed? We have 80 acres in SE Arizona that we are looking to farm, but we are starting from scratch. Just installed the well. So, its a process.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Yes, "growing" hemp is one thing, but harvesting, drying and SELLING are additional things to consider. Understanding your federal and local regulations is important so you don't end up with "hot" plants (THC level over their defined limit). That'll be a total loss. Selling your biomass (harvested hemp) can yield $50-$100/lb of dried flower (market rates vary widely). But if you extract the flower, you'll probably end up with an extract with THC levels well over 0.3% THC and that limits your market (you cannot cross state lines with that product). That may not be a problem if there is a big enough market for hemp extract in your state. Otherwise, you're going to have to resort to THC reduction techniques like column chromatography and/or distillation.
This was more focused on perhaps the more lucrative side about the flowers and CBD oils. I would have like to see in the video more science facts which may have been available at the seminar. Is there research of the fibers of the plant while controlling the THC below 3% including percentage increments to 1% and what affects this has on its strength composition studies. We know with metals it has been done in metallurgy with metal alloys to create the various properties of (carbon based) steel. I read studies show fiber board from hemp is comparably strong as steel. (HAVE TO VERIFY THIS). The Seed Oils could replace dirty fossil fuel Usage. (Petroleum Industry would fight it) I say Coal Miners get out the dirty dangerous mines and in the sun to grow seeds for a clean environmentally safe oil energy source. This could be a ecological financial breakthrough, game changer, tree saver, carbon emission eliminator. NO DRILLING, SAFETY REGULATIONS AND COST FROM ACCIDENTS. Private Research that could not stopped by a powerful industry to find it this would be cost effective should be funded
The monsoons are going to spread all this hemp in Indian and cannabis and CBD all into the Federal reserve charging water facility at Sam Lena Park exactly or days hundreds of thousands of seeds ancient Babylon

Brian, my names Connor, im 27 and from the California valley. Its about to blow up out here. Im working to be a rep for some growers out here and want to be part of the new insustry thats about to be created out here. Id love to even do some sort of an interview or just chat on the phone with you for 15mins if you ever find the time. Let me know, loved the video ill look for a similar event around here i can attend! =)
Im fucking high rightnow

Skipping this one, not a fan of this. but My views are mine, and I don't have a monopoly on opinions. so Enjoy. Hope it works for you.
What books dod you read?
This video helped me think of things I really wouldn't have. Thanks for the help!
With everything going on the the world right now (2020) and since hemp has antibacterial properties, is there a market for hemp medical masks?

The same people that looked down on us for our diversity smh.
Boring vid
It's a weed. 🤷🏻♂️
Not seeing anymore Hemp growing videos on your channel, can I assume you opted not to plant?
I just bought property and have 43 tillable acres. I want to use some or all of the land to try and grow the Hemp for CBD. Looking for tips and a business plan. ANy suggestions?
What was the final verdict did you end up growing any hemp?
Great vid.
Thx for putting it together.
Valuable to all.
Peace.
Im retired and would love to come and do an internship.
Hemp versus cannabis
Basically if you can grow cannabis you can grow hemp easy.
Love. From Maine 🐜 🌳
Hey, man. Thanks a bunch for that insight. It was nice to see a collaboration of several minds in one piece of documentation.
Crazy thing is that someone at that commence had the exact same name we were going to use! Good thing we pivoted names this morning. Yikes!
Good luck with your endeavors!
If one has no experience in farming but wants to learn via volunteering, you recommend any farms in NE or websites?

The key takeaway is hemp is labor intensive. If you do not have Spanish migrant labor or mechanization, forget it.
What’s the difference between growing weed and growing hemp?
What would y’all recommend for Caribbean weather for growing hemp?

Good music choice. Stay metal

Fascinating, Thank you
Two cheeks
This was a real informative video about beginning in the hemp industry. Good insight into the upsides and potential downsides when harvesting.
My boss started a 6 acre Hemp field this year, I have worked in the field 3 times so far…looks like around 60% of the seed grew.

Hemp seed for duck feed.

Red tape i n Colorado is about 1 hour of work and a $500 check. Then reports that are about 15 mins to fill out.
Hemp seed oil is a HUGE untapped market.
What about California?
Great video! The information you are share is priceless.
The regulations are what's bs. If you're zoned ag and you already a crop farmer you should be able play with whatever crops you want to. Imo

I've been thinking about doing the same thing on my property.. The only problem is I don't know who to sell my hemp stock to?
One question answered…. 82 more questions coming to mind. Great video!
How can I find out how much I need to grow? How do I find out how to take it to market? What do you do with it once its harvested?
I was there, and decided to grow this year! @pepperspatch on instagram
