Cannabis Economy

Terra Carver, Executive Director of the Humboldt Country Growers' Alliance, discusses how the changing seasons are affecting cannabis farmers and growers in Northern California. Unfortunately, California is dryer than usual right now, which has caused difficulty for farmers. Carver explains the three most important things that cover crops do and also gives some insight into crop rotation and regenerative farming: "A very important part of regenerative farming is not only just planting crops, but ensuring that you have some animals on that piece of land to do what they do to regenerate and re-introduce certain nutrients, and then also weed out certain weeds." Carver then pivots to policy and notes that tax reform is the most important issue right now for farmers, for which there is currently broad support.
