UNFORTUNATELY, MANY OF OUR GROWERS WERE NOT<br />
PREPARED FOR THIS AND LOST AS MUCH AS 5 ACRES TO<br />
THIEVES THINKING IT WAS TRADITIONAL CANNABIS. THINK<br />
ABOUT THAT; FIVE ACRES, THOUSANDS OF PLANTS, GONE<br />
OVERNIGHT!<br />
smell it, they think its cannabis and<br />
the signs are just a farmer’s masked<br />
deterrent. Hiring 24 hour security a<br />
month or two before seed harvest is<br />
going to be the norm. You have to<br />
prepare for that in your budget and<br />
scheduling.<br />
The numbers are real. Variations<br />
from $0.05 per seed to over $1.00<br />
per seed were realized in 2019. <strong>2020</strong><br />
should be no different as the market<br />
continues to expand. The demand<br />
seems to still be in effect for quality<br />
seeds. Tens of thousands of seeds<br />
per pound and several pounds per<br />
acre can definitely happen. But<br />
you have to be diligent, and more<br />
importantly, prepared for all contingencies<br />
to be successful with seed<br />
production. We witnessed too many<br />
operations this year that planted too<br />
late, too hot, too dense, too close to<br />
other farms, in areas with significant<br />
early frost potential, with no plan for<br />
processing, etc…. Don’t get caught<br />
unprepared. The green rush is real<br />
and he gains may last another year or<br />
more, but so will the pitfalls. Hedge<br />
your bet with preparation for the<br />
contingencies and the green your<br />
field will be the green in your return.<br />
All your hard work and diligence will<br />
have your friends green with envy!<br />
