The higher the CBD content, the more valuable the harvest is. Without the ideal growing conditions and proper care, the final value may be greatly reduced. Our new location has never been commercially farmed so the soil has not been depleted of essential nutrients. Although work must still be done to create the perfect soil conditions, we will not need to rely on commercial fertilizers. All soil improvements will be done organically, without the use of chemicals, resulting in a more marketable and profitable product.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Once a site is researched, approved and acquired, we begin the painstaking task of seed selection. As important as the actual land they are planted in, the proper seed selection is paramount to the success of the final harvest value. Our seeds are genetically bred to have less than .3% THC, making the plants legal, and a CBD content of between 13-15%, making them highly valuable.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item background_image=&#8221;15909&#8243; cover=&#8221;yes&#8221; vertical_alignment=&#8221;middle&#8221; horizontal_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; advanced_animations=&#8221;no&#8221; custom_class=&#8221;first-cont&#8221;][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][qode_elements_holder number_of_columns=&#8221;two_columns&#8221;][qode_elements_holder_item background_image=&#8221;16388&#8243; cover=&#8221;yes&#8221; vertical_alignment=&#8221;middle&#8221; horizontal_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; advanced_animations=&#8221;no&#8221;][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item item_padding=&#8221;50px 100px 50px 100px&#8221; vertical_alignment=&#8221;middle&#8221; horizontal_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; advanced_animations=&#8221;no&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">Seed Selection<\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;transparent&#8221; up=&#8221;35&#8243;][vc_column_text]Choosing the proper seeds is paramount and the first step in the hemp farming process. Without the proper seeds, the final harvest and overall profits can be diminished. We have a close working relationship with some of the top seed producers in North America to assist in this process.

Once the land is cleared, graded for drainage and marked, soil samples are taken from multiple locations on each plot.

We also use drones to not only patrol the farm for possible dangers but to also help oversee the growth rates and conditions of each acre we plant.

The drone images and footage are also used when compiling our growth data findings which will be published in our newsletters and crop reports.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;parallax&#8221;
