These Former Chicken Farmers Just Harvested Their First Acre of Hemp

“We decided that we would grow hemp and go from killing animals to growing something, from destroying things to creating things.”
With help from Mercy For Animals’ Transfarmation project, the Halley family began their transition away from raising chickens. In 2020, they harvested their first acre of hemp on their family farm in Texas.

Great work!

[@Lbarrow22]

This is amazing. Hopefully we will see more of this in the future!

[@mercyforanimals]

Yes! More and more frequently, farmers are realizing that there's more profit to be made in the long run if they grow plants instead of raising animals for food.

Very Inspiring thank you for sharing !

[@mercyforanimals]

[@Lbarrow22]

Great job, hopefully we can see more of this

[@mercyforanimals]

Yes! As more and more farmers realize that there's more profit to be made growing plants instead of animals, we're sure to see more transFARMations like this one. 😀

This is a great message to everyone. That yes it is possible to change. Everyone is so worried that people are going to lose jobs and industries are going to shut down etc but this video proves otherwise! 🙌🏼

[@adhiantos]

@@tylerw1976 Care to explain? :)

[@tylerw1976]

cause why would i want stupid hemp?

[@mercyforanimals]

Hi Tyler! Hemp is one of the fastest growing plants and is used to make a wide range of products such as paper, rope, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, and biofuel.

[@mercyforanimals]

Yes! More and more, farmers are realizing that there's more profit to be made moving away from animal agriculture.

Did you guys end up growing in 2022?

[@nathanrish7099]

Broooo leave the roots so they can amend the soul and not revive weeds or pathogens. Also I would have use 15% worm castings for soil medium for each plant to stop plant eaters

[@assassinaterwolf7877]

People should be chicken farmers. Its so amazing to have chickens and eat fresh eggs and watch the babies grow up. These people shouldn't give up chicken farming because of some vegan lies although it's probs just an act for the video.

[@tylerw1976]

3:35 nah it ain't beautiful its stupid and cringey more like thats what

[@tylerw1976]

[@mercyforanimals]

Hi Tyler! Hemp is one of the fastest growing plants along with bamboo. It's used to make a wide range of products like paper, rope, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, and biofuel.

[@thegrumpypanda1016]

Tyler hemp is a wonderful and versatile material.

[@assassinaterwolf7877]
