Farmer Grows Hemp for the First Time for CBD Oil | Agronomy Spotlight | Successful Farming

Recent laws passed have allowed farmers to grow hemp legally in the United States. Leigh Berry operates a farm in Minnesota, and for the 2019 growing season he started to grow hemp for CBD oil. To help navigate this new crop, Leigh enlisted the help of agronomist, Kelsey VanOverbeke. Laurie Bedord talks with Leigh and Kelsey about their experience from planting to harvesting hemp.
From Successful Farming (ep. 1312), originally aired June 12, 2020.

I hate how our government micromanages every part of our lives, especially when it comes to things that nature gives us that hurt no one.

[@justincase2830]

Just an illustration of how the government gets in the way of good business. Requiring growers to get finger printed to grow a healthy product. I highly doubt the government requires growers of tobacco to be finger printed to grow a dangerous product.This is a very formative video. Thanks for this knowledge.

[@CAESARbonds]

They are so scared of the thc. Legalizing it would jeopardize the existence of the dea ;-)

[@justincase2830]

@@CAESARbonds Right on.

[@sTEADYONE67]

The government going to monopolize the cannabis industry. They going to have companies like Monsanto take over.

[@justincase2830]

@@sTEADYONE67 Yes, this has been a trend by Monsanto.

[@symmetry119]

Monsanto is now owned by Bayer, about 3 companies control the worlds food supply

I remember back in the 70's when i used to walk the soybean fields to pick weeds in Comfrey, MN. at the fence lines there would be hemp plants from crops years ago, sometimes these plants would grow to be 8 ft tall. My brother and I would try to smoke them but all we got was a headache. :)

[@Sigridovski]

So these were industrail hemp to eat its seeds and make tissue from, better than cotton and linen.

[@culllaticiqsu83]

I used Weedborn CBD products and healed without any problems.

[@331mexa]

Is Weedborn a brand??

[@riverbankfisher]

Local cannabis growers would love to sneak in a few of their plants and then tiptoe back in later to harvest before the hemp crop ripened.

[@g.persaud8007]

Very good educational video Thank you 🇬🇾✅

[@Oceam]

Good video

[@antonhuman8446]

Top class.

[@swrtsolutionsinc.1092]

Plants free of water deficit events more efficiently absorb available plant nutrients enabling plants to achieve their maximum genetic potential. SWRT membranes installed below plant root systems retain water where it falls, providing continuous delivery of drought-free periods up to 3 times longer than intensely irrigated control sands without root zone water retention membranes (Guber et al, 2016).

[@alfonsoalmendariz3325]

Interesting. I used Fox Farms for my small grow of 3 feminized clones. It has all the good stuff. Highly recommend their soil and nutrients.

[@bscbinks]

I'm wanting to try this on an acre of mine. I have no farming experience and no idea what initial investment would be. This is the first video I've seen in my journey of figuring this out haha.

[@Wormi13]

i am in exactly same case, learning on farming on a small village... what have you found others ? :)

[@user-lj4qt5qy7o]

Have u started farming yet

[@abelp.1281]

if your crop is above the required test threshold, what happens then?

[@semievren8333]

i was wondering hopelessly if we could buy hemp seeds from you 😭💔 to grow this very healthy plant, not for thc of course but the greens of male plant ????? i ordered through amazon and the seeds from damned china! nothing came out !!!!

[@user-wh5yt9jq5t]

what is that long black line on the ground under every cannabis bush?

[@punkndrublic187]

The thick black plastic they plant in and help control the weeds and the thin plastic tubing is to water

[@familyman1110]

.3 delta-9 THC is a hard number to achieve the government is shooting itself in the foot there would be a lot more people growing Industrial Hemp if that number could change a little it would offer a lot more for medical CBD use to diversify the genetics

[@alfonsoalmendariz3325]

True. And there is benefit to using a higher amount of THC than the .3 percent for medical purposes and general well being. In California they make a Lagunitas drink. It tastes like a Lagunitas craft beer but is a 18 to 1 CBD:THC. 18 mg CBD and less than 2mg THC. You have to buy it from a dispensary since it is over the .3 percent amount.

[@TheGrowBros]

Not that hard to hit if the test is 30 days before harvest. 😂

[@lazio7495]

This is my first year growing hemp. I hung the plants up in my barn to dry. I estimated them to dry in about 5-7 days. With the extreme dry hot conditions they dried to an almost crisp condition in 2 days. Now I'm having a real hard time processing them cause their too dry. Most of the flower is just crumbling. The Cbd potency is strong but plants are too dry to work with. What can I do to salvage my crop?

[@CAESARbonds]

Carefully rehydrate them in a controlled climate.

[@CAESARbonds]

Climate chamber like for tobacco, bring it up to 40-50% It works

[@barryroodhuizen2365]

spray your plants lightly with a plant spray.

[@cxbabax]

Maybe too late but if it's too dry, put them in a box and place pieces of cabbage around them. The hemp with absorb the moisture and make it not too dry.

[@billfitzgerald5912]

Just spray it with some water and put it in a tote for a day and it will reconstitute.

[@coahuiltejano]

thats way too much water per plant....try strains that don't require as much water like from Sonora

[@barryroodhuizen2365]

Prohibition of alcohol and prohibition of cannabis were both progressive (liberal) ideas for their time.

[@delonthomas5049]

Legalized the herbs why put all these restrictions on the tree of life

IN PHILIPPINES MARIJUANA PLANT IN THE MT. PROVINCE PUBLIC LAND PROPERTY BY GOVT. COZ ITS PROHIBITED ITS ILLEGAL

[@sparkywatts3072]

This is so ridicules! Hemp should NEVER have been banned. Requiring honest hard-working farmers to jump through hoops in order to grow a beneficial plant is just RIDICULES.

RIDICULES

[@user-ts7mt5kz9r]

Hey Skeeter can I get my starts from you because last year I tried to get my starts I tried to grow myself and somebody came in but baby oil and all my plants and then I tried to get starts from Mike and he went to McDonald's and put all the starts on the trash cans at McDonald's and I was like I didn't want to grab the starts in front of everybody you know so I was too shy and so if you could give me some starts that would be really really nice kind of like along the lines of arbor Day type starts you know where it it comes in the mail but it's perfectly ready to plant the tree or plant the bush or plant the dwarf

[@artoqeerfiaz]

Hemp start

[@charleswise2193]

Hemp is great for clothes.Marijuana is great medicine.

[@leftocean-es5gc]

Piece of cake if you grow food.

[@papadueceski9814]

lol trygrowing weed the same way you and your mom grow tomatoes

[@embarkmcc]

I hope these 2 farmers figured out that they cant just throw the seeds in the ground. You have to separate each plant. These farmers clearly have no clue what they are doing. I wouldn't be surprised if every plant was over the limit. Black people have been growing marijuana behind closed doors for decades. Find one of them and lease you land to grown give them a percentage of the profit. Cotton produces about $800 an acre. Good CBD will net $5,000 or more an acre just from the buds alone for recreational use.
