Hey everyone just checking in and saying hey! I recorded this Thursday March 19, 2020! What a crazy week! I truly believe we are going to come out stronger on the other side. I know it's scary and crazy things are happening, I truly believe the good in humanity and that we should all donate blood if that's a possibility. Our schools all closed Monday, our governor said we were closed Sunday right after I bleached my classroom... and my principal said be ready to teach online when spring break is over (our spring break is 3/20-27/20) in case they ask. Listeners I know I go oh! at the end, but it was probably just something in my car. I am jumpy! haha... don't panic no big deal... anyway, I will try to post soon. My storage is almost full out! I did post a good instagram/facebook post of mike's minifarm and his lesson he learned about tarping. Be safe and Let's Get Growing!

Happy to talk about any Hemp building topics or direction the conversation goes. https://www.hempitecture.com/ () I call my listeners Green Future Growers. I had a guest on the east side of Montana, and one of the things he talked about the importance of having a market ahead of time. And then my husband and I have always been interested in building a hemp house, or straw bale house but hempcrete would be even better. Yeah it totally would and it's exciting all the different applications of hemp being used across the United States. For that eastern Montana farmer what he said was spot on. You gotta have an idea of where the plants are gonna end up and who is going to buy it and using it for what purpose before you even start farming. Mike said you have to interview these guys and here is Tommy Gibbons to talk to us today from Hempitecture! Part of me feels like I have been waiting for this for so long, I thought this would pass back in the 1990's and I talked to Tara Caton last year at the Rodale Institute an
