Greg Wilson:And so, yeah, we’re trying to get the ag fraternity to burn it at homecoming to try to get rid of it. My whole thing is, I need an Oak tree to hang my tree stand on, when a deer comes [crosstalk 00:37:02]. And so your transportation cost is a large factor. When it’s done, is it the same? And if it’s done properly, having a wood floor or wood furniture that’s sustainably harvested, or is made here in the United States is always going to be the dominant player. All Rights Reserved. Plastics Bioplastics derived from hemp are an increasingly viable alternative which can be safely disposed of at the end of the lifetime of the building. It’s also a big carbon footprint. Matt Baum:But if a tornado hits and you climb under that thing, you’re fine. So take me through the process. Greg Wilson:It creates a couple of thousand dollars a month worth of energy. Hemp protein powder is the best alternative for whey protein powder because itâs just as easy to digest and contains all nine essential amino acids. When I was in school, I was studying building materials, studying engineering, and got into vinyl siding, and then Oak flooring. There’s something wrong with us that take advantage of it in the wrong way. Our top priorities lie in the benefits of farming hemp to heal the earth, the development of sustainable industrial hemp solutions, and the production of high-end cannabinoid ingredients for use in alternative medicines. Greg Wilson:And so, yeah, our industry friends kind of picked it up and said, “The election is coming, we’re going to still be building this stuff out.”. And you named your company Fibonacci, who is a pretty famous mathematician and has his own sequence and everything. Because a lot of what it is, you can buy anything for a buck. And actually, most of it comes from within 60. And so then it heats the water, which then recirculates through the dryer. Does it burn like normal wood? And then when someone’s laying this piece of floor, it performs the same as a engineered Oak, which is the majority of your Oak flooring industry. But yeah. Blue Forest Farms or BFF, as we call them in-house at Ministry of Hemp, ensures quality at every step in the CBD product creation process. So getting back into the process, once it comes out of the dryer, we batch it again. You’re in Kentucky, so you’re in hemp country right there. Matt Baum:Yeah. Greg Wilson:Well, the first year we got mount hemp more, then ended up having like 150 tons of hemp that we couldn’t use because it got moldy or it got left out, or [inaudible 00:28:34] species. Well you have to use existing equipment, which is used for bailing hay, then now use it for bailing hemp and modify it a little bit. A [crosstalk 00:29:19] weighs-. Greg Wilson:And so most of our sales go to urban areas, or people that are in urban areas that don’t have a second home that’s in the mountains or on the beach. Matt Baum:And then you go, “That’s the color we want, that looks like the cherry wood or the Oak or whatever we’re going for, get it in here and let’s turn it into wood.”. From selectively breeding their own high-quality varietals of hemp; growing plants locally on their sun-kissed, organic, Colorado farm; monitoring the state-of-the-art extraction process; and even engineering the best tasting formulas, Blue Forest Farms ensures quality at every step in the CBD product creation process. We had to try all the different cuttings as [inaudible 00:28:37] didn’t work, and all these different ways of trying to harvest it, ended up with like 150 tons of hemp. It really helps us to get this information in front of people that are looking for it. Greg Wilson:Hey, I have a house in Annapolis that I actually use to underwrite loans and stuff like that for this place. Blue Forest Farms prides itself on a full seed to shelf process that is completely organic from selectively breeding their own high quality varietals growing their plants locally in their sun-kissed organic Colorado farms, monitoring the state-of-the-art extraction process and even engineering the best tasting formulas. Matt Baum:So the guys that work with it know what they’re getting and know how to use it, because it’s going to perform same way. And at the end of the day, people are trying to provide for theirs, whatever that is. Greg Wilson:As we go, all the equipment. Greg Wilson:Dario came up with the concept of unrolling a bale of hemp because it has to get picked up. And so our sales turned off, our factory was shut down for six weeks. Greg Wilson:Right, blows the hot air across the molds and bakes them and then recirculates it back to our dryers, which then throws the secondary heat. Matt Baum:You’re like the A-team, you all have specialties. And it just came together. Differences Between Smoking Hemp vs. Tobacco The tobacco industry is experiencing a gradual decline over the years, as more people are finding viable alternatives to â¦ So these blocks come out, and then we open the mold, we’ve got an automation machine for that. Matt Baum:Okay. 2 talking about this. There’s no added VOCs here. And so you actually have spacing in between the trees and everything. Matt Baum:You always end in the gift shop. Matt Baum:That seems like two steps back to me if you’re going for something a little more ecologically friendly, right? So my wife-. It’s a CBN advanced formula, number six, their latest organic CBD oil. Instead of cutting down a tree that you saidâ¦ It takes how long to grow before you can cut it down for wood? And so very often, if you tell somebody how to do something, give them a 10-minute tutorial, they can avoid half of the mistakes that would cause them to reject a new material.We’re still in that infancy stage of what we’re doing. He came up with a way of unrolling it like a roll of toilet paper. Whereas your slower growing hardwoods are your Oaks and your hickories and your black walnuts and your ash and things like that. And when I graduated from college, I moved to China because I was studying Chinese as well and figured an engineer who can speak Chinese can write his own ticket. Go to patreon\ministryofhemp, and any amount of money you give, makes you an Insider and get you all kinds of cool stuff like early access to articles, podcast extras, like the one I mentioned with Gregory, and all kinds of other cool things that we’re doing. It comes in and it gets stuck on this machine that we had to invent. Below are numerous ways that hemp plastic can revolutionize the world, and is better than petroleum-based plastics. Greg Wilson:No, it was not the Chinese government deemed the bamboo patents to be a monopoly in 2009, 2010. So talk to me like I’m a third grader. Matt Baum:Wow. Are you using scrap? We got our factory operational in ’19, and we actually had our finished goods ready to launch at NoCo the end of March, and then at the North American Wood Flooring Association at the end of April. Think about stacking a bunch of circles together. And actually our best employees are guys that we got from the ag school here. Every step of the process to open our shop has been helped along by family, friends, even friends of friends. Matt Baum:Not only your raw materials, but you’re drawing from a pool of education as well that’s right there. Oh my god. We got the guts, the radiators, the heat transfers out of there too. And that actually comes from the soy burning. Be sure to subscribe to the Ministry of Hemp podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Podbay, Stitcher, Pocketcasts, Google Play or your favorite podcast app. Matt Baum:So four months versus 60 years, more or less? Whereas if it’s old growth, then it becomes a mature forest and it’s got a whole different ecosystem that’s going on underneath of it, because you get that huge canopy that goes up. I didn’t even really know the difference between any of this stuff. He was like, “I’d rather be here.”. Is this where we’re going? There’s no negative aspects of this. Greg Wilson:Correct. Greg Wilson:And the smoke is actuallyâ¦ It’s cleaner smoke. We offer everything from Hemp textiles and nutrition to CBD tinctures, topicals, concentrates and other alternative self care products. Greg Wilson:Well, ours we soak it into, so we dump the hemp for 10 minutes in it, and it’s big rolls. Greg Wilson:Protein to carbohydrates .So we’re stealing the proteins from the soy, baking it in an oven, and then it turns brown. A lot of times it’s going intoâ¦ It was hospitality, so ecotourism hotels and restaurants, sushi restaurants, and yoga studios, and stuff like that. Because the round bales, you only get about 12 tons on a truck. White Oak actually works a lot better. Links to any informational websites are provided solely as a service to our users. That guy, Charles, we met earlier, he is the machinist here. Greg Wilson:This will be a single digit percentage replacement for wood.

Greg Wilson:Trademark the word HempWood, trademark the logo. Greg Wilson:So the raw material was readily available. Matt Baum:Right. And speaking of shownotes, here at Ministry of Hemp, we believe that a more accessible world is better for everybody.

Greg Wilson:So just working through all that stuff. The alternative fiber highlighted in this study is fiber derived from industrial hemp fiber (referred to as hemp in the study). Greg Wilson:So that process I just explained is a two-day process. You don’t just walk in and, “I’m going to buy some wood, please.” “How much wood can I buy for $15?” Or whatever. It’s actually an organic farm, but I don’t do the paperwork for that. And so, the strand woven Eucalyptus then were me and Jimmy Song, and that’s how we met Dario. Greg Wilson:That’s why the big deal about plantation forest versus old growth. All products on this website are intended for legal use. Farmers who were quick to get into the industrial hemp game learned the crop was difficult to manage. Wilson is creating beautiful wood for flooring, cabinetry, and so much more with compressed hemp fibers. And I’m going to tell you all about that later on, and how you can get 20% off just for listening to this show. At what point in the process are you likeâ¦ Is the abuse on the cellular structure? So red Oak costs half the price, it’s not as great for furniture. I mean, how did you even end up in this ballpark? And what we do need to do is we need to get everyone per stakeholders to support the product by buying some hemp wood. So it’s algorithm that has to hit these numbers in order to make a uniform piece of material at the end that outperforms our target being Brazilian cherry, which is the high end benchmark of global wood. Matt Baum:I’ve talked to a lot of them. Matt Baum:Yeah. 3 talking about this. Is it just what you do to it you end up like that or are you adding something to it or taking something out of it to get it to look like wood? So I actually made the table during COVIDâ¦ Our first table was made, and we made it out of a solid and it was way too heavy. When you go to a box shop and you get your flooring at Lowe’s or Home Depot, and they’re like, “Oh, hey, solid Oak flooring,” is typically red Oak. I wouldn’t assume so because it’s so dense. I like that. And just kept coming back into the office. Greg Wilson:I can say that our local Congressman, Congressman Comer, is doing everything he can for us. Where’s it start? You’re talking 36 to 48 hours from hemp stock to pressed into a mold. So yeah, I know what you mean. I guess, yeah. As farm workers, you got a roof over your head, right? Greg Wilson:Exactly. And actually, the powers behind the scene, kind of the wizard from the Wizard of Oz, is Dario Dumont. So they can say, “Hey, I’m making hemp wood tables, stack our logo on it.” And then actually, they can share it on our different platforms, whether it’s sending it to us, and we’ll put it on our social media, or putting it up on our website. We’ve taken a whole bunch of agricultural equipment from the cotton industry, the tobacco industry, the bamboo industry, you name it. Your email address will not be published. So it really does make sense to do this closer as well, almost farm to table, if you will, because your carbon footprint is lower, you’re spending less on transportation, and you’re getting the stuff right in where you can pull it in the factory and make beautiful wood out of it. Matt Baum:It literally caught on fire, the bad way, not a good on fire. Greg Wilson:And figured out various ways to take typically the offcuts from plywood mills and compress it back into wood that can be used as a solid. That’s just the way it is. Because our big thing is, if somebody buys hemp wood from us and make something out of it, the trademark of, “Hey, this is a HempWood product,” goes right along with it. Hemp plastics are an ideal alternative considering it is a biodegradable plastic that only takes about three to six months to break down. Greg Wilson:Anyway, so getting back into it, again, we weigh it out, we batch it. And we send customers their way, and we allow all the different people working on it to tell each other how it works, and to avoid a bunch of those costly mistakes that end up getting people frustrated.

My business partner when I got married, my wife and Iâ¦ In China, if you get married without real estate already own, it’s called a naked wedding. The wood jobs are bad.” So I was really surprised to hear you say, no, it’s not bad. The closest town to us is five miles. Maybe you’re looking for a full spectrum, unrefined hemp oil, or you’re looking for pure CBD isolate with absolutely no THC.

Greg Wilson:A lot of my news feed turned into mask salesmen and gloves salesmen during COVID. Learn more about our HempPropylene, HempEthylene, BioHempEthylene, HempPLA, and HempABS. And so I can speak intelligently about how to make it. So we use the same fluid that you use for solar panels called glycol. I love that answer. Greg Wilson:Yeah. Greg Wilson:Yeah, absolutely. Matt Baum:That’s R&D, though. Greg Wilson:It is harder than hickory, has the same density of Brazilian cherry, and it is made in the USA in four months. Matt Baum:And this keeps you from having to have some stupid machine that just makes heat for this or just heats up this element. We go to a new city with a trailer full of hemp wood try to figure it out. The answer is saying like-, Matt Baum:â¦ combining hemp wood with Oak, and showing like, “Look, they can both work together really well.”. What Does Veurre® Contain? So tell me about the process. 55% Hemp and 45% Cotton double layer face mask with elastic loops. I mean, or it doesn’t? And so the number one reason that cabinetry makers, which are typically still made in the US, were not accepting of the product is because we didn’t offer plywood that had the face on it to do the skins on the side so it looks like it’s all hemp wood. So it’s less than 15% moisture content. I mean, we’re all farmers. Red Oak. Greg Wilson:And that gets passed through into the cost of making the product. cynthia@hemp-alternative.com Matt Baum:You’ve kind of just answered my question with like, “Why are you the only one?” Well, because you have to invent this stuff. So then you have to open this out. But I can say that that’s where people are already accepting. The number one question that we get about hemp wood; the number one thing people do when they get a piece in their hand is smell it. I mean, I literally know nothing about this. Greg Wilson:But when you’re in a city with that many vehicles and that many people and all that stuff, thinking about the environment is a much bigger thing because you see what that many humans can change. Matt Baum:Sure, sure. And so I had to figure out how to laminate lamellas onto plywood to be able to build a cabinet out of it. I don’t know if I’m allowed to say that on air. Greg Wilson:This area doesn’t get huge yields for crops.

So the oven gets hit first, and then it can recirculate that same fluid to go to the drying, which uses a lower temperature. It is stronger than oak, it looks just as nice, it’s not as flammable, and it sure grows faster than trees. Greg Wilson:Got involved in bamboo flooring and helped figure out how to make bamboo flooring acceptable for commercial use, which was a means of making it harder or densified. I mean, the press is 24 feet tall, so 1200 gallons of hydraulic fluid [crosstalk 00:25:37]. I can say that builders, for the most part, the younger generation say, “Well, that’s cool.” We get over a 90%, “Tell me more” rate. Matt Baum:One six foot piece weighs 300 pounds?
