The science of regenerative cannabis cultivation conference in Michigan .2019 Kevin jodrey. A
This is part one. Part two has Kelly and Josh in it with him. It's toward the second half, ( 1.56 min.) He talks of an Appalachian. It's a group of farmers that work together using regenerative methods to make great top of the line product. the wine industry has them. And bourbon. The important part, is it has to be organic regenerative soil. This is the only way to make great tasting top of the line herb. And would need specific rules to abide by as farmers. Like a neighborhood HOA. Only way to maintain consistency. And these appalachian groups always demand top dollar. But it has to be an area of land all farmers belong to. Not sure we could do it from different gardens/farms across Michigan. But co-op is definitely a way to get more work done, by sharing genetics, and making crosses. It can be a way to pool money also to get the ball rolling. I'm down for a co-op. I think the attitude has changed for the wrong way in this industry. Too much hoarding, and being selfish. If you remember long ago, weed was always a community event. It's always a circle of ppl, sharing. I think sharing makes success faster than this new selfish way I see these days. P.s. Kevin jodrey is brilliant! So worth listening to!
