In this episode, the Soil Sisters reflect on their recent family reunion, sharing humorous and insightful moments, including their latest inspection of the hemp field. The sisters delve into the challenges and philosophies of regenerative agriculture, discussing soil health, weed management, and the importance (and long-term benefits) of natural solutions over chemical inputs. They also highlight their vision to merge legacy farming and ranching with regenerative methods to not only heal the land, but save their family's 137-year-old operation. TIME STAMPS:00:00 Introduction and Family Reunion Recap 01:25 Excitement and Challenges of Hemp Farming 04:48 Regenerative Agriculture vs. Big Ag 09:23 Innovative Solutions for Sticker Burs 12:26 Family Dynamics and Vision for the Future 16:26 Wildlife and Ranch Observations 26:13 Community Collaboration in Farming 27:28 Learning and Practicing New Skills 28:02 The Reality of Soil Health 28:46 Visiting Aunt Theresa's Goat Farm 30:13 Exploring Cousin Brianna's Property 33:54 Stress Adaptation in Plants and Humans 36:03 Understanding Weeds and Soil Health 44:07 Biological Solutions in Agriculture 48:43 Inspiration from a 79-year-old farmer, Bob Kirkwood 50:19 Concluding Thoughts and Future Topics

France is reviving its industrial farming of hemp – 'green gold' – in the search for more sustainable, energy-saving building materials. French publishers are flocking to romance, as a new generation of authors are writing for a new and growing audience of young women readers. And when Paris hosted the 1924 Olympics 100 years ago. Hemp farming nearly died out in France in the 1970s but is making a comeback in textiles and the construction industry. Fast-growing, pesticide-free, and a good absorber of CO2, the plant is proving to be an ally in the fight against climate change. Franck Barbier, head of Interchanvre, talks about cannabis sativus's bright future on a tour of the Planète Chanvre mill in Aulnoy. And Jean-Michel Morer, mayor of Trilport, shows us how his town is using hemp in buildings as part of its commitment to sustainability and the circular economy. (Listen @3'10'')Romance literature has long been looked down on for its undemanding language, basic story tropes and steamy sex scenes. But French publishers are taking note as a new generation of authors, inspired by English-language best-sellers, are writing for a growing audience of young women, many of whom are newcomers to books. Publisher Benita Rolland, of Hugo publishing, talks about developing the genre for the French market, and CS Quill, who started out as a reader before becoming a popular romance author, talks about connecting with her fans. (Listen @21'50'')As Paris prepares to host the 2024 Summer Olympics, a look back on the last time the city held the Games in 1924. Those Olympics were a smaller, more eclectic and more masculine event, which nonetheless marked a turning point and brought the Games closer to what they are today.

Hemp is an amazing plant. It uses a fraction of the water needed to grow cotton, every part is useful and it absorbs more carbon dioxide per hectare than other crops and most trees. Cultivated for thousands of years, the eco-friendly plant can be used in food products, biofuels, textiles and even building materials.

Could Hemp farming be the future of Irish agriculture? The hemp market is expected to reach 41.7 billion dollars globally by 2027. Hemp can be used to make a vast array of biodegradable materials, requires very little fertiliser and is considered a carbon sink, sequesteringlarge quantities of CO2. Ireland could be seen as an important player in the market because it is ideally positioned between Europe and the US. While we do have a small number of hemp farmers here under the Hemp Co-operative, more are being encouraged to join. Our Reporter Alison Hyland spoke to 2 Hemp farmers to find out more.....

On this week's podcast we talk to Laura Sullivan, a fiber artist living and working in Vermont. She works at University of Vermont Extension, growing hemp fiber in the research trials at Borderview Research Farm in Alburgh. Through her work with textiles and hemp, she has come to a revelation that clothing is agriculture — or at least should be agriculture. She points to traditional ways of spinning and weaving. “Almost every culture around the world did this,” Sullivan said. “So it's almost universal in that way. And those fibers were all derived from the soil. So in that sense, to me, clothing is originally agriculture and can also be agriculture again in the future.” Her work at the Extension fiber trials gives her access to hemp fibers. But because there is no infrastructure in the Vermont to process hemp fiber, she does it all by hand. “I use all antique hand equipment to do my processing, and it's not ideal by any means,” she said. From retting and breaking, to sketching and hackling, spinning and scouring, she takes us through the whole process. During the interview she talked about the importance of fibersheds. “A fibershed is a commitment to work within the geography of a land base,” Sullivan said. “It's a way to belong to each other and the land.” The fibershed movement asks: Where is fiber in our environment, and how can we work with it? Domestically produced textiles are at an all-time low, thanks to the now-replaced North American Free Trade Agreement, she said. “In 1990, 50% of clothes worn in the U.S. were made here,” Sullivan said. “And now that figure stands at 2%. So in a very short amount of time, we have completely offshored the entire industry.” And at what cost? “The textile industry was the biggest employer of people in rural America, and namely women and those without diplomas. So we've really lost a lot in that, especially in a state like Vermont, where we are largely rural and agrarian. It's just a huge missed opportunity,” she said. Sullivan is hopeful that industrial hemp can revitalize the domestic textile industry.

In episode 279, Kestrel welcomes Jono Salfield, the cofounder of Afends, to the show. A sustainability-focused brand based in Byron Bay, Australia, Afends recently started their own Hemp R&D facility – Sleepy Hollow Farm — delving into farming to grow their own hemp for future collections. “Sustainability is just an evolution and being more innovative and looking at alternatives and trying things, to basically improve the way that we impact. Because we're always gonna impact. And if you say that you're not impacting, then you're lying, really.” -Jono We've definitely explored HEMP on past shows. We've explored the challenges in cultivating the fiber commercially, due to legislation that prevented that for the last century or so. We've talked about the many uses of the plant – from feeding to housing to healing to clothing you.   And this week, we're talking about how to actually GROW THE PLANT for fiber production.  Our guest, Jono, is the cofounder of an Australia-based brand …. and now, you could also say, a hemp farmer. Two things I very rarely encounter TOGETHER across my work in this space.  In 2021, he and his cofounder purchased nearby farmland to build a hemp R&D facility –  Sleepy Hollow Farm. And recently, they harvested their first fiber, impressively growing enough to replace the hemp used in their current line. Throughout our chat, we get into the why, the how, the challenges and the wins they've experienced in their first foray into hemp farming. But for real – how do you go from running a brand to buying farmland, getting your hands in the dirt and figuring out how to actually grow fiber!? As Jono tells us, “we kind of jump into the deep end a lot.”  I'd say so. He shares more on why hemp is so freaking amazing (from both a farming and carbon-capture lens), the general process involved with retting and decordication, the challenges that still exist to turn the plant fiber into actual fabric, and more. Quotes & links from the conversation: “What we aim to do is show Australia, or even the rest of the world, that hemp is a fiber which can 1) be easily grown, 2) be potentially that next big fiber that can help decrease a bunch of the impacts that growing conventional cotton has.” -Jono (17:26) “For us, looking at the farming from seed to skin was something really important to us, because yeah, you can go online and you can research everything until you've seen what everyone's written. But I think there's something really important about seeing things firsthand and discovering what it entails to do it yourself.” -Jono (17:55) “The type of plant that we need to grow for textiles is fast-growing sativa plant, which we needed to get to maximum height and it needs to be super dense. The denser, the more plants in a small area, the better, because you'll be able to grow more fiber, basically. Sourcing that seed was the first major challenge.” -Jono (20:18) Retting Process = hemp gets cut down and left in the field to basically let the microbes start to help separate the fiber from the hurd Decordication = separating the hurd from the fiber // the long stalk has fiber on the outside and hurd on the inside “We're not able to make that fiber into actual textiles in Australia, there's just no facilities set up. So, we have to send it to China, to where we actually construct and make the textile material. And look, ideally, on a perfect sustainable level, everything's just done within a few kilometers of where you've grown it, so the impact's as small as possible. But, we're not there yet.” -Jono (24:55) “The other major positive behind it is that nothing goes to waste — especially when you're growing fiber — because you've got this super dense field of really tall, stick-like plants, basically. There's a little bit of leaf on top, but it's not a thick cannibis plant with heaps of leaves and buds and stuff. But everything gets used. The hurd gets used for building, and then you've got the textiles from the fiber. So, the whole plant gets used. It's quite incredible in that degree.” -Jono (29:03) Watch *Weed Need Change* Hemp Docu-Series > Afends Website > Follow Afends on Instagram >

Growing crops of any type is no easy feat; the number of challenges farmers encounter can seem overwhelming to newcomers and outsiders and can change on a yearly basis or even more often. Hemp growers face a lot of challenges, too, some of which are unique to hemp. In this fourth episode of the Podcast I had a talk with Scot Schwab, from Mett Naturals  about the challenges specific to growing the crop. These challenges largely focus on hemp for cannabinoid or essential oil production, though some apply to grain and fiber production. 

There has been an increase of hemp farming licenses issued by the HPRA every year in Ireland. It is estimated that there are up to 100 people now growing the crop across the country. With CBD and seed products increasing in popularity reporter Josh Crosbie took a visit to a hemp farm in Co Wicklow. He also met with food oil producers and builders who use the cannabis plant in their products.

Join Mandi Kerr and Aaron Barr CEO at Canadian Rockies Hemp Corporation on this morning's episode of Moving ^HEMP Forward. While growing up on a farm in rural Alberta, Aaron enjoyed a successful career as a professional motocross racer before entrenching himself in the agribusiness world. After graduating from the University of Alberta with a major in business economics and law, he found success in real estate development, brokering land and equipment deals globally. As the founder and CEO of Canadian Rockies Hemp Corp, Aaron focus exclusively on the business/market development around bast fiber. Canadian Rockies Hemp Corporation (CRHC) is an innovative Alberta-based agribusiness operating in Bruderheim, Alberta. CRHC focused on processing hemp at scale for industrial use outputs, building a sustainable and profitable future for generations to come. CRHC provides a sustainable, consistent supply of processed hemp to manufacturing facilities globally for numerous product outputs including textiles, pulp and paper, animal bedding, rope and twine, building and insulation materials, composites, and automobile components.

This week, Jeremy Luciano, founder and CEO of GHS Industries — formerly Global Hemp Solutions — tells the incredible story of his journey to the cannabis industry. GHS conceptualizes, designs, builds and installs everything from buckers and drying systems to harvesters and extraction systems. Although the company works in the hemp sector, it is a food-grade manufacturer that also serves other industries. Luciano founded the company about 2.5 years ago, including a manufacturing facility in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, east of Louisville. He likes to analyze situations, see a problem, and try to solve that problem. Luciano is a veteran who was injured while on active duty. He is a Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) graduate, a training program that military personnel go through to make sure they can protect information abroad. During the training, Luciano suffered a spinal injury that caused lifelong damage to his back. After the service, he entered the medical field and spent 10 years as an orthopedic trauma surgical assistant. Eventually, his injury caused him to lose feeling in his appendages and bladder control. He soon became addicted to pharmaceuticals and entered a dark phase of his life that led to a suicide attempt. He put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger, but he believes divine intervention saved his life that day. Luciano, an avid shooter and military-trained marksman, says his firearm had never malfunctioned except for that day in that specific moment. He found no mechanical explanation for the malfunction. He says he has lived a devout life ever since. Luciano started using cannabis regularly when he was around 14 years old. He says it helped him control his overactive mind; about a year ago, he was diagnosed with a high-functioning form of autism. As he looks back on his time as an adolescent, he says that he wasn't a "stoner," but that cannabis helped him focus. Through some trial-and-error as an adult, he figured out how to make cannabis work for him, and he began reaching out to other troubled veterans who could use some help.Luciano was introduced to cannabis cultivation about 10 years ago in Washington State in an effort to grow his own medication. Eventually, he began growing for other patients, and he soon spearheaded large, licensed grows of medical marijuana for local dispensaries.  Unfortunately, his injury complications persisted, and the labor-intensive nature of cultivation can be incredibly taxing on the body — so he switched to manufacturing equipment instead. Luciano first ventured into industrial hemp because he was drawn to the plant's sustainability. He says the industry has too much fear: farmers are scared of losing everything, and lies and misinformation can be found throughout the sector. He describes numerous run-ins during his time in the industry, including bad actors trying to make a quick buck by selling prototypes/early generation equipment as market-ready — and marking them at a premium to prey on farmers entering into unfamiliar territory. About a year ago, Luciano was also challenged by a retail company with a similar name: Global Hemp. He is currently negotiating with the company, but it's also resulted in a recent name change. Luciano says the experience is a warning of things to come as larger corporations get into the industry; mom-and-pop shops could find themselves in contentious situations with companies possessing larger war chests. The pandemic has been a challenge for Luciano, mostly because he's not the type of CEO who likes to sit behind a desk — he wants to be out in the field. His outspoken belief also presented some issues.His spirituality even influenced the new name, he says: GHS doesn't just stand for Global Hemp Solutions, but also God Hates Sin.
