Is Hemp Right For Your Farm? The Answer may be Surprising! - Farming Smarter Conference 2017

Mike Gretzinger of Farming Smarter talks about all he's learned growing hemp in Alberta as part of a 3 part trial with Jan Slaski of Innotech.

Carbon engineering is part of a solution. Okay 1 acre of hemp! Produces 3 to 4 times the amount of oxygen"as a acre of trees, at the same time sucking in 3 to 4 times the amount of carbon dioxide un oxygenated air as a acre of trees. As a added bonus it rejuvenates replenishes the soil back to Garden of paradise type quality! After every harvest' even if the landscape has been previously stripped robbed depleted of all its value from overharvesting things such as cotton corn soybeans. It has even been successfully grown and radiated soil. Equally as amazing hemp!! Makes over 26,000 different things) couple examples bio fossil fuel this type of fuel only releases the same amount of carbon dioxide un oxygenated air per mile, as a person does when the exhale! Versus coal oil gas fracking sand oil the worst of all. Which release tens of millions of years worth of petrified death! Per mile. Hemp has been proven, to be 10 times stronger 30% lighter than steel stronger lighter than concrete stronger lighter than brick' far more versatile making the design possibility practically limitless+ plus it is easier to work with on-site which would allow people to build stronger faster much more efficient at a fraction of the cost of what we are doing today. Hemp has the same nutritional value, as rice corn beans wheat barley milk . Hemp clothing distributes moisture across the body more efficiently then any other material leaving a person feeling and smelling their best even under the most extreme circumstances. It promotes good respiratory function, so if a person has asthma allergies or other breathing complications just by wearing it's clothing a person will alleviate those symptoms with the potential of diminishing them all together. And that is the short list. So your solution is good. However it is not going to create clean high paying jobs from coast-to-coast) that will improve upon and maintain the quality of our air water foods landscapes working living environment every day home products. The powers that be are motivated by money. So let them know that the real money!! Is in advanced power sources that are self sustainable renewable' new age high quality material resources substances that are stronger lighter easier to work with more versatile. Allowing people to use them as much as they would like or need without leaving any excess poison is toxic waste behind. We cannot be our best unless we improve upon and maintain the quality of life, so each person's generation may become stronger smarter healthier happier better off physically mentally financially possibly spiritually than the previous generation. As of now today's people are living dying off to a diminished quality of life compared to our ancient ancestors that existed for thousands of years in the many great ancient civilized nations. We have the manpower technology resources to make this kind of progress. And if the motivational tool is finances this is where it's at. Thank you for sharing your time here on KZbin.

Would any self respecting "Weed grower" put their lovely females anywhere near a crop that had those bad boy males . No way . Its the same attitude as have to your 15yr old daughter s boyfriend . No way .

[@shanescatsandcannabisfarm2965]

No males for atlest a mile lol. I always set a female aside with a male to breed. I put in down wind and over the hill side tho.. I believe a hillside facing south is good for growing big full bushes.

I am looking for financing for Industrial Hemp and Cannabidiol (CBD) on an area of 16 hectares

[@martinpike803]

Of course hemp is good for your farm rotate crops is good for soil

[@israelsreformbruhtajamezli472]

How do I get started! Got land in Texas and Mississippi.

[@overlordsshadow]

Excellent video! Thanks for the info:)

[@simonpeter8794]

I am interested in this plant. How do I start?

[@Airon79]

I believe the leaves are loaded with iron similar to that of algea and spinach but with a different taste and the leaves possibly have lots of calcium but not sure although I know for sure the seeds have loads of calcium .

[@Airon79]

How much of leaves would I have to consume to get 780 mg of Iron into my body ?

[@FarmingSmarter]

This is our research technician Mike. Mike can be a bit of a character. That's one thing we love about him. The other thing we love about Mike is that he knows how to keep a legit research trial on point. Mike and Dr. Jan Slaski have been doing hemp research at Farming Smarter for over a decade now. We're also getting better at video production, but recording conference talks doesnt' leave a lot of room for post production finesse.

He "thinks hemp has less than .03% THC" ? Me thinks it has less than .3% THC. Guy really should learn the ABC's on hemp before giving a presentation. Figure it out

Who gives a fuck

[@Spec62]

I think he misspoke. When you look at .3% for hemp and 5% to potentially get you high. . .Hmmm. So, was "dirt reefer" or stems like. . .1%?
