Download or read book American Hemp Farmer written by Doug Fine and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inside story of the world’s most fascinating and lucrative crop from gonzo journalist–turned–hemp farmer Doug Fine. Hemp, the non-psychoactive variant of cannabis (or marijuana) and one of humanity’s oldest plant allies, has quietly become the fastest industry ever to generate a billion dollars of annual revenue in North America. From hemp seed to hemp fiber to the currently ubiquitous cannabinoid CBD, this resilient crop is leading the way toward a new, regenerative economy that contributes to soil and climate restoration—but only if we do it right. In American Hemp Farmer, maverick journalist and solar-powered goat herder Doug Fine gets his hands dirty with healthy soil and sticky with terpenes growing his own crop and creating his own hemp products. Fine shares his adventures and misadventures as an independent, regenerative farmer and entrepreneur, all while laying out a vision for how hemp can help right the wrongs of twentieth-century agriculture, and how you can be a part of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you have when you blend a pinch of litrpg, a touch of farming simulator, a sprinkle of epic fantasy, a whole cup of Isekai, and a dash of Home Alone? You have Arnold's life. Accidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer, wakes upon an altar to find himself incarnated into the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin. He's not the hero. He's not the villain. He's certainly not the chosen one who is there to save the world. He's a clerical error. It could be a bad joke, but apparently, it happens so often that they have a standard procedure for returning you. That standard procedure doesn't apply to Arnold. Now stuck on a new earth, in a new universe, with no way home, Arnold must use his gaming skills to figure out how to level his farmer class to 100 and gain a second class which doesn't make him want to beat his head against the wall. There is just one small problem: farmers don't gain experience from killing monsters. Like at all. Follow Arnold on his hilarious journey as he stubbornly comes to grips with his new reality and tries to change his destiny from that of your typical farmer.
Download or read book American Hemp written by Jen Hobbs and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there ever was a time to build an American hemp industry, the time is now. In Jesse Ventura’s Marijuana Manifesto, former Minnesota Governor teamed up with Jen Hobbs to explain why it’s time to fully legalize cannabis and end the War on Drugs. Through their research, it became clear that hemp needed its own manifesto. Jen Hobbs takes up this torch in American Hemp. December of 2018 marked a largely unprecedented victory for cannabis. The 2018 Farm Bill passed and with it hemp became legal. What the federal government listed for decades as a schedule 1 narcotic was finally classified as an agricultural crop, giving great promise to the rise of a new American hemp industry. Filled with catchall research, American Hemp examines what this new domestic crop can be used for, what makes it a superior product, and what made it illegal in the first place; the book also delves into the many health and medical benefits of the plant. Hobbs weighs in on how hemp can improve existing industries, from farming to energy to 3D printing, plus how it can make a serious impact on climate change by removing toxins from the soil and by decreasing our dependence on plastics and fossil fuels. American Hemp lays out where we are as a nation on expanding this entirely new (yet ancient) domestic industry while optimistically reasoning that by sowing hemp, we can grow a better future and save the planet in the process.

Day 15: 2300 dollars It's my third week on the farm and everything is going well. A little slow, but definitely well. In my first few days on the farm, I've focused on clearing land and building enough materials to begin rebuilding the farm and restocking its equipment. I must have cut hundreds of trees and gathered many logs of wood! I've also started exploring the mines and mining for copper ore. Now, this week, I've found a section of the mine that has iron ore, and I can't wait to mine some. I will need iron ore to make iron bars, which I can shape into gates or use to craft equipment such as barrels to age vegetables into sauce, wine, or juice. I start the day by watering my plants. I know this can be boring to do every single morning, but I know that hard work pays off! While I'd love to spend the day relaxing or fishing, I know this won't help me rebuild the farm, so I head over to the local mines again. I follow my map to the section of the mine on the 40th floor where I found some iron ore on the previous day. I begin prospecting the ore and digging into the wall and find a few pieces of ore. I continue on into the mine, reaching the 45th section of the mine. Instead of going deeper at this point, I head back up to the 40th floor, while searching for even more ore. This extra exploration pays off, as I found a few more pieces of iron ore! At around 9pm I head back home. I had a great day of work in the mines and I am tired. Luckily, I brought several fruit snacks and granola bars to keep my energy up. I decide to try to fish some more in my small pond. Although I don't catch any big fish, I do improve my fishing ability and my comfort with using a rod. The moon quickly rises in the sky, and it is now midnight. I know I need to get some sleep, so I head to bed. Today was a great day!
