Podcasts about industrial hemp

This week's guest on the Industrial Hemp podcast is Lucia Vignale, a third-year PhD student at Cornell University, where she studies plant breeding, genetics and pathology. “I'm interested in searching for, mapping, and characterizing new sources of resistance against hemp powdery mildew,” she said. Vignale earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in molecular biologist in her native Uruguay, and in 2022 she came to Larry Smart's hemp lab at Cornell on a Fullbright scholarship to pursue her PhD. Her passion for hemp is intertwined with her passion for science. There's so much that we don't know about hemp, she said, “so I want to answer questions. I want to solve problems.” She said with other crops like corn, cotton or soy, there is already so much research out there, so much is already known. But hemp, she said, “has been largely unexplored due to legal issues,” and the untapped potential excites her. “There's so many things that we can do and learn from it, and we are seeing that in person now with all the new products and applications that we can get from it, she said. One of her jobs in the Cornell hemp lab this year was to plan and execute the fourth annual hemp webinar series, which starts January 29 and runs biweekly until May 7. This year's webinar series will focus on hemp grain and will include presentations from hemp grain experts. (see full list below) The webinar series is free but registration is required.

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

Ralph welcomes Washington Post reporter Shannon Osaka to discuss her new article, “The Plastics We Breathe” and the shocking truth that all of the plastic we're using isn't just polluting the environment—it's polluting our bodies as well. Then, Ralph checks in on the state of the industrial hemp movements with “Hempster” filmmaker and activist Michael Henning. Shannon Osaka is a climate reporter covering policy, culture, and science for the Washington Post. Before joining the Post, she was a climate reporter at the nonprofit environmental outlet Grist.Microplastics are not only around us, they're also inside us…This is a really difficult problem, and it's partly because there is no one microplastic. Microplastics are made of a whole bunch of different materials—they're made with different chemical additives. So scientists have found that microplastics can have certain effects in the laboratory—they can cause cell death, they can cause tissue damage, they can cause allergic reactions, they are starting to put the pieces together on the impact on human health.Shannon Osaka[“The Plastics We Breathe” by Shannon Osaka and Simon Ducroquet] comes across as a massive global assault—hour by hour, a violent, violent pandemic—when you look at the fact that it's everywhere, it's in the water, it's in the air, it's in human bodies, it's in the animals that are eaten, it's in the pipes, it's being swallowed regularly, it's invisible, it doesn't produce immediate pain, it's in the placenta, the liver, the breast milk.Ralph NaderMichael Henning is a filmmaker, public speaker, and longtime proponent of the Industrial Hemp Movement. He is the director of Hempsters: Plant the Seeds, a documentary about the struggle to legalize industrial hemp.The DEA is the most profitable hemp farmer in the world. They get a million dollars per acre. Here's the irony of all this—they're cutting down feral ditch weed…Well, why the hell are they eradicating cannabis when it's legal to grow in all 50 states? They're taking us to the cleaners with the amount of money that taxpayers pay to support the Cannabis Eradication Program.  How can you have a Cannabis Eradication Program when it's legal to grow in all 50 states?Michael HenningIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 7/3/241. Following President Biden's disastrous performance in the first presidential debate, pressure is beginning to build for Biden to step aside as the Democratic nominee against Trump. The Texas Tribune reports Congressman Lloyd Doggett, a Democrat representing Austin, Texas is the first to explicitly call for Biden to stand down, writing in a statement, “President Biden...has the opportunity to encourage a new generation of leaders from whom a nominee can be chosen to unite our country though an open, democratic process….I am hopeful that he will make the painful and difficult decision to withdraw. I respectfully call on him to do so.” Other top Democrats have not gone quite so far, but haven't closed the door completely. Congressman Jim Clyburn, a powerful South Carolina Democrat and co-chair of Biden's campaign, told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell “I will support…[Vice President Kamala Harris if President Joe Biden]…were to step aside,” per NBC's Gary Grumbach. NBC reports House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said Biden's mental fitness is a “legitimate question.”2. Israel's rabidly right-wing Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir has issued a statement on Twitter responding to claims from Palestinian prisoners that they faced “rape, physical and psychological torture, deprivation of food, medicine and sleep, humiliation and degradation,” in Israeli prisons, per the Middle East Eye. In this statement, Ben Gvir wrote “Everything published about the abominable conditions…was true…I have already proposed a much simpler solution…enacting the death penalty.”3. +972 Magazine is out with a report on the Sde Teiman detention center in the Negev desert, where Israel has held more than 4,000 Palestinian prisoners since October 7th. The magazine report recounts the countless instances of horrific abuse at the detention center, many perpetrated against Arab-Israeli citizens. The magazine also cites the New York Times report that “doctors at the facility were instructed not to write their names on official documents or address each other by name in the presence of patients, for fear of being later identified and charged with war crimes at the International Criminal Court.”4. CNN reports that the Israeli military has “issued new evacuation orders…for areas in southern Gaza, including eastern Khan Younis and Rafah….[forcing] residents, many already displaced, to find new shelter,” in advance of yet another ground invasion. The Gaza European Hospital, one of the last hospitals in Gaza, is located within this evacuation zone. While the IDF has said the evacuation order “does not apply to the patients in the European Hospital or the medical staff working there,” the hospital has already “transferred patients, including those in intensive care and babies in incubators…to other facilities ‘in fear of bloodshed,' according to the hospital's deputy director and doctors.” The Palestine Red Crescent Society reported earlier this week that the few remaining hospitals in Gaza are overwhelmed by the influx of patients from the European Hospital, as well as other hospitals that have been bombed or evacuated during the Israeli bombing campaign.5. Axios reports that even pro-Israel Democrats are expressing apprehension about what they describe as AIPAC's “overkill” in the recent campaign to defeat progressive Congressman Jamaal Bowman. AIPAC, via their United Democracy Project PAC, spent at least $14.5 million on anti-Bowman ads as of June 20th, making this the most expensive primary ever, per POLITICO. One House Democrat, speaking anonymously, expressed concern that “that much money could backfire,” with another noting that “They do that a lot.” Progressive House Democrat Greg Casar said “[Progressives] have to adapt…voters have to know that, if they're seeing a huge barrage of ads, they've got to…find out if those [millions] of dollars are telling [them] the truth."6. The Department of Justice will formally charge Boeing with fraud over its fatal 2019 crashes, per Reuters. However, the Justice Department will offer the company a plea deal, including “a financial penalty and imposition of an independent monitor to audit the company's safety and compliance practices for three years.” If Boeing does not take the deal and plead guilty, the Justice Department has vowed to take the company to court; if they do plead guilty, it could affect the company's ability to enter into government contracts. Companies with felony convictions are barred from being awarded such contracts, but can receive waivers. The Department “declined to comment on the families' reaction.”7. AP reports “Tesla is recalling its…Cybertruck pickup…to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail.” This is the fourth recall of the Cybertruck since it went on sale late last November. Each recall affects over 11,000 vehicles, each of which cost between $80-100,000.8. Last week, the Supreme Court ruled in Grant's Pass v. Johnson that a local ordinance banning homeless people from sleeping outdoors – even when there is inadequate shelter space available – does not violate the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. Within days, lawmakers in Oregon and Los Angeles, among others, began to publicly signal they would utilize this ruling to crack down on unhoused people. The National Alliance to End Homelessness reports nearly 600,000 Americans are experiencing homelessness, an increase of six percent since 2017.9. France is facing a political crisis. In the first round of legislative elections, the far-Right National Rally and its allies claimed first place with just over 33% of the vote, followed by the Leftist New Popular Front with 28%. The centrist allies of President Macron came in a distant third. Going into the second round of voting, uncertainty swirled over whether the Center and the Left could form a so-called “republican front” against the far-Right, specifically whether the centrist candidates would stand down in close run-offs between the Left and far-Right, and vice versa. Macron now seems to have endorsed this position. According to Reuters, “A survey…showed a small majority of those who voted mainstream conservative in the first round would back the left-wing candidate best placed to beat an RN rival in the second round.”10. Finally, Kenya is being rocked by its own political crisis – one of neoliberalism. In order to meet targets set by the International Monetary Fund, Kenyan President William Ruto pushed a bill that would have imposed new taxes on “bread, vegetable oil…sugar, mobile-money transfers and some imports,” per Reuters. This announcement led to nothing short of a popular uprising in the streets, leading to violent clashes as the police sought to quash these protests. Those clashes left at least two dozen protesters dead. President Ruto has now pulled the bill, but protests continue to rock the country. One protester told Reuters “People are dying in the streets and the only thing he can talk about is money. We are not money. We are people. We are human beings…He needs to care about his people, because if he can't care about his people then we don't need him in that chair."This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Dr. Zorodzai Maroveke -- AKA "Dr. Zoey" -- heads the Zimbabwe Industrial Hemp Trust, which is promoting the uptake of industrial hemp as a climate smart alternative to wood, cotton, and plastic. Hemp, she explains, replenishes faster than wood, uses far less water than cotton, and has almost no waste. Its ecological benefits are clear, and she hopes carbon finance can be used to overcome the financial challenges to scaling up.

Industrial Hemp Has Greater Opportunity with Jarett Burke #127 Did you know that hemp is cannabis, genetically the same, but with less THC? CBD comes from hemp. But that's just the start. Hemp can be used for construction materials, insulation, textiles, oils, plastics and much much more. Today we meet Jarett Burke from Kifcure. Jarett walks us through the parts of the hemp plant and explains the products that can be made from it. I believe hemp has a bigger addressable market than cannabis.

The fledgling U.S. hemp industry is decades behind countries like Canada, France and China, but according to impact investor and this week's podcast guest, Pierre Berard, it could flourish into a $2.2 billion industry by 2030 and create thousands of jobs. To reach its potential, what the hemp industry needs most right now, Berard said, is capital investment. Last month, Berard published a report titled “Seeing the U.S. Industrial Hemp Opportunity — A Pioneering Venture for Investors and Corporations Driven by Environmental, Social and Financial Concerns” in which he lays out the case for investment. It's as if Berard, with this report, is waving a giant flag, trying to attract the eyes of investors, saying, “Look over here. Look at all this opportunity.” Berard likens the burgeoning American hemp industry to a developing country. “There is no capital. People don't want to finance. This is too risky. And I was like, OK, this sounds like something for me,” he said. As an impact investor who manages funds specializing in agro-processing companies, Berard now has his sights set on the U.S. hemp industry, which he believes has great economic value as well as social and environmental benefits. He spent many years developing investment in the agriculture infrastructure of developing countries in Latin America and Africa, and said the hemp industry feels similar. “It is very nascent and it is a very fragmented sector. You have pioneers and trailblazers inventing or reinventing the field after 80 years of prohibition,” he said. “So I feel very familiar with this context.” On this week's hemp podcast, Berard talks about the report and the opportunities available to investors in the feed, fiber and food sectors of the hemp industry. Building an industry around an agricultural commodity takes time, he said. According to the report, “The soybean industry took about 50 years to become firmly established, from the first USDA imports in 1898 to the U.S. being the top worldwide producer in the 1950s.” Berard has a plan to accelerate the growth of the hemp industry and sees a four-pillar approach to attract investment. First, he said, the foundation of the industry is the relationship between farmers and processors at the local level. Second, he said the industry needs what he calls a “federating body” that will represent it, foster markets and innovations, and reduce risk for its members and investors. The third pillar is “collaboration with corporations that aim to secure or diversify their supply chains with sustainable products and enhance their ESG credentials. This will be key to funding the industry and creating markets,” he said. The fourth pillar is investment. Lots of it. Over $1.6 billion over seven years. This money will come from government, corporations, individual investors, and philanthropic donors. The 75-page report goes into detail about the hemp industry, its environmental and social impact, and the opportunities available to investors.

  About Kat: Industrial hemp liberates us from manipulated markets & corporate giants who control: Oil Cotton Wood Paper Plastic Polyester Vinyl all Building materials food and medicine. Hemp eliminates the grip Big Agriculture has on the food industry. No more GMO crops grown in poison. Speaking out on social media I embarked on a one-woman campaign to drop Industrial Hemp knowledge nuggets everywhere. To create a brand new economy as the old one crashes is the key. How do we achieve this? By retooling every business (possible and willing) to switch to hemp that currently uses raw materials controlled by corporate-owned resources: Oil forest products lumber building supplies vinyl plastics cardboard paper chemicals fuel food medicine. As we move away from using Cabal-controlled resources owned by private corporations their debt slavery structure collapses. We literally grow our new economy starting with the raw material Hemp. Kat's story started At the height of the pandemic. She and her husband, Mark drove to Mount Rushmore to meet other Patriots in prayer on the Fourth of July. That weekend we met beautiful patriots. On napkins In a bar in South Dakota, Hemp processing plants became the topic on how to bring Hemp back as a US commodity. In Solidarity of vision, friendship, & alignment with The Creator, All of us are bringing forth the golden age of mankind. Central to this entire journey is this beautiful plant called Hemp. Kat is happily married to her 3rd husband, and they are both raised in Ohio. She has 3 grown children, & 3 grandchildren. She grew up around animals gardening and playing in my grandmas beauty shop. Standing on a wooden soda pop box shampooing her customers for her. Most of them would tell her “scrub harder!” In high school, her parents took in foster children and Dad started a home improvement business. She grew up gardening and nursing hurt animals. She was in JVS when her parents joined a Christian Cult. Within a year, I graduated from school. She was a good hairstylist. She rented a room in a shared house. I was 17. She did remodeling projects too, with my dad & brother who was the general contractor. She was self-employed most of her career. I've owned 2 salons. I was 50/50 owner in an automotive repair shop. She have designed and remodel homes garage and business spaces. In 40 years, she learned a lot about people & life from her life and stories told to her, as she stood behind the chair. Watching people struggle and be faced with horrible situations because they had no money made me more determined to watch the world change for the good. An old farmer in the 90's told me Hemp was grown for the war effort during WW2. As she started reading about hemp she realized that the war on drugs controlled hemp. Hemp's cousin, Marijuana, heals 650 diseases according to the 1860's Merk Pharmaceutical manual! The war on drugs gave the pharmaceutical industry a carte blanche to push their crude oil drugs. She is resistant to antibiotics, & she see only hindered healing in hospitals. She became a conspiracy theorist before they ever had a common name on social media for it. She envisions a community where the people Peacefully and compassionately govern themselves to serve others. It is possible that all live a better life as many hands make light work. We hope this idea catches on. Warriors Post Ranch is dedicated to veterans & open to everyone. 

Could industrial hemp be a useful feedstock for anaerobic digesters to produce renewable natural gas? According to Nick Walters, managing partner at National Hemp Growers Cooperative, the answer is a resounding yes. Walters shared with Lancaster Farming the executive summary of a white paper to be released next week that shows that hemp not only can compete with other energy crops, but that it surpasses other crops in its input-output ratio. That means hemp requires fewer inputs than traditional biofuel crops like corn and beets but produces a higher-energy fuel than them. Walters said hemp has the potential to produce 208 million Btu per acre, which is the equivalent of 60,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough to run a clothes dryer 24 hours a day for 27 months, based on research by his team, which is led by agronomist David Cornett and Eberhard Lucke, CEO of Lucke Consulting Technology Services. Apart from its energy potential, hemp grown regeneratively (with no-till, cover crops etc.) can pull carbon from the atmosphere and lock that carbon into the soil, thereby being a method for carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. Hemp is also an attractive energy source, Walters said, because it doesn't “enter the food versus fuel conversation. You are squarely in the food versus fuel conversation as it relates to fodder beets, because those are getting fed primarily to livestock.” As to why the co-op is publishing this study, Walters says it's part of its “very unique business model that enables our members and our investors to be involved in multiple value-added processing facilities for the various uses of hemp all throughout the country. And we are focused on building wealth for our members through regenerative agriculture and sustainable development.” Plus, we talk to Lori Daytner from DON Services in New Castle, Pennsylvania, where work has been completed on the Project PA Hemp Home. She gives us an update on the project, including how they turned locally hemp grown into HempWood flooring.

Carrfields, one of the leading agricultural companies in New Zealand, has operations spanning Kiwi agriculture, from machinery to seed production and distribution, irrigation, precision ag technology and everything in between. Craig Carr, group managing director and guest on this week's Hemp Podcast, said his father started the business over 40 years ago with a handful of straw contracts in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand. Moving into machinery service and seed production in the 1990s, the business really took off in the 2000s when the Kiwi dairy industry went through a period of growth. “It was a big time in New Zealand of change, of farming. Dairy was really starting to grow,” he said. “And with that our business grew also.” This growth enabled Carrfields to acquire several other ag businesses, making them a major player in New Zealand agriculture. Carrfields has been working in the hemp sector for over 20 years, with an early focus on oil seed production and combine harvesters, and has since been working with fiber hemp for industrial uses. Carr attended the Montana Hemp Summit in August and was impressed with the level of cooperation and collaboration among the U.S. hemp industry in the grain and fiber sectors. “What probably stood out to me the most was the willingness of IND HEMP and others to actually work together for the benefit of the industry,” he said. “Even though we're way down here in New Zealand, there's a huge opportunity for us to share learnings and to actually share information around what has worked and what hasn't worked, because when you're dealing with a product like hemp — and particularly hemp fiber — you know, you're very reliant, as most people will note, on Mother Nature.” Carr said the biggest challenge the industry faces, in New Zealand and abroad, is making it profitable for producers. “Because if the crop is not sustainably profitable, then we are not going to have that supply base in the future,” he said. “We need to ensure that all of the financial metrics go back and start with the farmer.” Carrfields https://www.carrfields.co.nz/ New Zealand Natural Fibers https://nznaturalfibres.co.nz/ Connect with Carrfields on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CarrfieldsNZ & https://www.facebook.com/contactNZNF Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carrfieldsnz/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carrfields-nz/ & https://www.linkedin.com/company/nz-natural-fibres Hemp News Nuggets Police Raid German Hemp Farm https://businesscann.com/european-round-up-police-raid-german-hemp-farm-tilray-in-talks-with-cannabis-czar-new-european-thc-levels-approved-et-al/ Regulations for the Production of Industrial Hemp are Established in Costa Rica https://thecostaricanews.com/regulations-for-the-production-of-industrial-hemp-are-established-in-costa-rica/ Why Hemp Is Entering the Mainstream and Adding Value to Business https://www.rollingstone.com/culture-council/articles/why-hemp-is-entering-mainstream-and-adding-value-to-business-1234588120/ National Hemp Growers Coop partners with Troy University Manufacturing Sciences https://www.wtvy.com/2022/09/08/national-hemp-growers-partner-with-troy-university-manufacturing-sciences/ National Hemp Growers Cooperative https://nationalhempcoop.us/ Billionaire No More: Patagonia Founder Gives Away the Company https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/14/climate/patagonia-climate-philanthropy-chouinard.html Climate Projects Tied to Pennsylvania Get $900 Million https://www.lancasterfarming.com/farming-news/conservation/climate-projects-tied-to-pennsylvania-get-900-million/article_dd2cf622-3473-11ed-a221-179b31d68ee2.html Climate-Smart Commodities Grant Recipients https://www.usda.gov/climate-solutions/climate-smart-commodities/projects Thanks to our Sponsors Americhanvre Cast-Hemp https://americhanvre.com/ IND HEMP https://indhemp.com/ All Walks Hemp Pet Products https://allwalkspet.com/

Hemp (CBD or most cannabis less so), exerts impressive body balancing effects. Over-active bodily systems slow down, and the under-active accelerate. By gently activating the body's system of self-regulation via hemp, you just feel better. But there's a huge difference between products. CBD supplements may do more harm than good. The key differentiator lies in farming and extraction practices. Meet our guest Scott Schwab is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and innovator. In 2014 Scott authored the book Standing Accountable: Increase Your Success by Holding Yourself Responsible. In 2018 Scott became a Ted Speaker as he spoke about how Time is killing Education. That same year, Scott was awarded 40 under 40 recognition for his accomplishments in his career. In 2019 Scott and two partners launched an Agri tech company Mett in the Industrial Hemp industry and began building a Seed to Shelf solution for the industry.

Episode 34 - In this episode of the Latino Business Report host, J.R. Gonzales interviews Rudy Montes, CEO of Phoenix Inc. LLC. Montes, a retired veteran, is spearheading efforts to educate people and framers about the value and benefits of Industrial Hemp. Location and climate make the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley an ideal location to grow this high-yield, fast-growing and profitable crop. Hemp has been grown as a renewable source of raw materials for over 8,000 years.  It is grown industrially in over 30 countries around the world, from Indonesia to the Netherlands to Argentina. Hemp is far more environmentally friendly than traditional crops since it requires much less water to grow, and no pesticides.

This week we give a recap of the 2022 Pennsylvania Hemp Summit Expo that took place in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, April 26 and 27 at the Lancaster County Convention Center. First we talk to Lancaster Farming's digital content editor Dan Sullivan who covered the event for the newspaper and also emceed the Shark Tank competition. After the conversation with Dan, we hear Pennsylvania Ag Secretary Russell Redding's opening remarks from the Hemp Summit. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has been very supportive of the hemp industry in Pennsylvania, knowing that the potential for Pennsylvania's farmers and entrepreneurs is huge, but of course it's not without it's challenges. "We know based on what we have seen around the world, that there is potential in hemp and all of its components," Redding told the crowd. "We said at the very first summit that the Pennsylvania hemp industry is defined by the use of all of the plant. It is the fiber, it is the seed, it is the oil, it's the feed, it's the CBD. It is not a single component of the industry. It is all of the plant. And therein lies our challenge." The two day hemp expo was a precursor to the full summit to be held in November 2022.

When it comes to hemp there are two distinct sectors — industrial and floral hemp. Industrial hemp involves the industrial application for the grain, fiber and hurd of the crop. Floral hemp focuses on harvesting the flowers of the plant for medicinal uses like CBD. These different arenas of hemp require different farming practices, different genetics, and different equipment. The problem is that there is only one set of rules governing these two very different sectors of the hemp industry. Our three podcast guests this week would like to change that. Courtney Moran from Agricultural Hemp Solutions, Morgan Elliott Tweet from IND HEMP, and Erica Stark from the National Hemp Coalition have teamed up to create an exemption for industrial hemp, separating it from floral hemp. The permit costs and testing fees are a barrier for entry to farmers who want to grow hemp grain and fiber. Our guests argue that industrial hemp needs to start being treated as the commodity crop that it's destined to be.
