0:00:23 --> 0:00:26
And that includes medicinal cannabis,
8
0:00:26 --> 0:00:[privacy contact redaction]rial cannabis.
9
0:00:29 --> 0:00:[privacy contact redaction] hemp means cannabis.
10
0:00:32 --> 0:00:[privacy contact redaction] cannabis,
11
0:00:34 --> 0:00:36
it does not mean medicinal cannabis
12
0:00:36 --> 0:00:38
or recreational cannabis.
13
0:00:40 --> 0:00:42
I will share my screen.
14
0:00:52 --> 0:00:56
I'm the Chief Executive Officer

16
0:00:57 --> 0:01:[privacy contact redaction]ries in Australia.
17
0:01:00 --> 0:01:03
We're manufacturers of the world's most effective
18
0:01:03 --> 0:01:05
and economic hemp decorticator.
19
0:01:05 --> 0:01:[privacy contact redaction]ain what a decorticator is.
20
0:01:08 --> 0:01:12
I'm Secretary of the Australian Industrial Hemp Alliance,
21
0:01:12 --> 0:01:[privacy contact redaction]ralia's peak national body for industrial hemp.
22
0:01:15 --> 0:01:18
And I'm on the board of the Federation

24
0:01:22 --> 0:01:27
which is now made up of 17 global organizations
25
0:01:28 --> 0:01:[privacy contact redaction] created a global federation
26
0:01:32 --> 0:01:37
to make sure that the development of all matters cannabis
27
0:01:37 --> 0:01:[privacy contact redaction]
28
0:01:39 --> 0:01:40
And one of the great problems with cannabis
29
0:01:40 --> 0:01:[privacy contact redaction] governments to cannabis.
30
0:01:49 --> 0:01:[privacy contact redaction]rial hemp
31
0:01:53 --> 0:01:55
that I say, that we say,
32
0:01:55 --> 0:01:57
our company says is a wonderful game-changing
33
0:01:57 --> 0:02:[privacy contact redaction]ralia
34
0:02:00 --> 0:02:04
and indeed every country on our spaceship earth.
35
0:02:07 --> 0:02:11
This is a global game-changing agribusiness opportunity
36
0:02:11 --> 0:02:13

0:02:32 --> 0:02:36
This presentation, whenever I make a presentation,
42
0:02:36 --> 0:02:[privacy contact redaction]ian Francis K. Clark,
43
0:02:39 --> 0:02:43
the founder of Textile and Composite Industries in 1994
44
0:02:43 --> 0:02:46
and the inventor of the world's best decorticator,
45
0:02:46 --> 0:02:49
a decorticator that does not need reading of hemp.
46
0:02:53 --> 0:02:[privacy contact redaction] mute everybody.
47
0:02:58 --> 0:03:[privacy contact redaction]ober 2015
48
0:03:01 --> 0:03:05
and he was only 72 at the time.
49
0:03:05 --> 0:03:[privacy contact redaction], 40 years, 70, no, 68.
50
0:03:09 --> 0:03:[privacy contact redaction] part of his life
51
0:03:12 --> 0:03:15
to solving the major problem of the hemp industry,
52
0:03:15 --> 0:03:19
how to decorticate without reading.
53
0:03:19 --> 0:03:23
And while this presentation is focused on the hemp industry,
54
0:03:24 --> 0:03:25
as I'm talking about it,
55
0:03:25 --> 0:03:[privacy contact redaction]and that producers of medicinal cannabis
56
0:03:31 --> 0:03:[privacy contact redaction]alk.
57
0:03:33 --> 0:03:36
They're either required to destroy it
58
0:03:36 --> 0:03:38
or they can't make use of it and they destroy it
59
0:03:38 --> 0:03:42
because it's literally considered to be waste.
60
0:03:42 --> 0:03:46
Our decorticator will enable eventually
61
0:03:46 --> 0:03:49
when we help wake governments up
62
0:03:49 --> 0:03:51
for medicinal cannabis producers,
63
0:03:52 --> 0:03:54
for recreational cannabis producers,
64
0:03:54 --> 0:03:[privacy contact redaction]s
65
0:03:56 --> 0:04:[privacy contact redaction]alk decorticated
66
0:04:00 --> 0:04:03
to produce wonderful, valuable products,
67
0:04:03 --> 0:04:07
thereby increasing, guaranteeing profitability
68
0:04:07 --> 0:04:10
for cannabis producers of all types.
69
0:04:10 --> 0:04:[privacy contact redaction]arted this company in 1994
70
0:04:16 --> 0:04:[privacy contact redaction]arted it,
71
0:04:19 --> 0:04:[privacy contact redaction]ep.
72
0:04:21 --> 0:04:26
In 1996, he traveled to Kentucky and to Canada
73
0:04:26 --> 0:04:28
with his brother Anthony Clark,
74
0:04:28 --> 0:04:29
who is the current chairman
75
0:04:29 --> 0:04:[privacy contact redaction]ries.
76
0:04:31 --> 0:04:33
I'm the chief executive officer.
77
0:04:33 --> 0:04:[privacy contact redaction]e in Kentucky
78
0:04:37 --> 0:04:[privacy contact redaction]arting to take an interest in hemp.
79
0:04:41 --> 0:04:[privacy contact redaction]e about the problem of decortication,
80
0:04:44 --> 0:04:46
went to Canada, did the same thing.
81
0:04:46 --> 0:04:[privacy contact redaction] had a significant impact
82
0:04:51 --> 0:04:56
on the growth of hemp globally over the last 28 years.
83
0:04:59 --> 0:05:03
Now, the most expensive step in using hemp
84
0:05:03 --> 0:05:[privacy contact redaction]alk
85
0:05:05 --> 0:05:[privacy contact redaction]
86
0:05:08 --> 0:05:11
That's the process called decortication.
87
0:05:11 --> 0:05:12
It's a strange word.
88
0:05:12 --> 0:05:15
Until I got involved in hemp 10 years ago,
89
0:05:15 --> 0:05:16
I didn't know what it meant,
90
0:05:16 --> 0:05:17
but I do now.
91
0:05:18 --> 0:05:23
Our company, driven by our philosophy of helping farmers
92
0:05:23 --> 0:05:27
to become more profitable, independent,
93
0:05:27 --> 0:05:[privacy contact redaction]ainable,
94
0:05:29 --> 0:05:32
developed a decorticating machine over the past 28 years,
95
0:05:32 --> 0:05:34
not 27 years, that eliminates
96
0:05:34 --> 0:05:[privacy contact redaction]s.
97
0:05:38 --> 0:05:41
Now you might say, why did Adrian do this?
98
0:05:46 --> 0:05:48
Call from Patrick.
99
0:05:53 --> 0:05:54
Why did he do this?
100
0:05:58 --> 0:06:01
Because he was a lover of freedom, as am I.
101
0:06:01 --> 0:06:06
That's the reason why I'm in hemp.
102
0:06:09 --> 0:06:[privacy contact redaction]s.
103
0:06:12 --> 0:06:[privacy contact redaction]ralasian passion provocateur.
104
0:06:15 --> 0:06:[privacy contact redaction]
105
0:06:16 --> 0:06:18
I've practiced law for 20 years.
106
0:06:18 --> 0:06:[privacy contact redaction] 29 years, I have been a motivational speaker,
107
0:06:24 --> 0:06:26
a speaker on passion, a speaker on leadership,
108
0:06:26 --> 0:06:[privacy contact redaction]rategy for business, big business,
109
0:06:30 --> 0:06:33
medium business, small business.
110
0:06:33 --> 0:06:37
But all of my work relates to freedom.
111
0:06:37 --> 0:06:40
I'm also chairman of the Australian Institute of Comedy.
112
0:06:41 --> 0:06:45
So, so everything I do.
113
0:06:59 --> 0:07:04
So everything I do has a theme related to freedom.
114
0:07:05 --> 0:07:06
Freedom.
115
0:07:07 --> 0:07:11
Adrian could say, and I agree with him,
116
0:07:11 --> 0:07:[privacy contact redaction] to guarantee human freedom
117
0:07:15 --> 0:07:[privacy contact redaction] successful, profitable,
118
0:07:18 --> 0:07:[privacy contact redaction]ainable family farms.
119
0:07:20 --> 0:07:21
Why?
120
0:07:21 --> 0:07:25
Because farmers on the land, away from government,
121
0:07:25 --> 0:07:26
away from capital cities,
122
0:07:26 --> 0:07:30
they can tell government literally to get stuffed.
123
0:07:30 --> 0:07:[privacy contact redaction]
124
0:07:33 --> 0:07:38
The alternative, which is the message
125
0:07:39 --> 0:07:41
driven by big business, says,
126
0:07:41 --> 0:07:43
oh, the only way that you can make money
127
0:07:43 --> 0:07:46
out of agriculture is by having corporatized farming
128
0:07:46 --> 0:07:49
with big companies running agriculture.
129
0:07:49 --> 0:07:[privacy contact redaction] for us to lose freedom.
130
0:07:52 --> 0:07:[privacy contact redaction]e watching this presentation
131
0:07:55 --> 0:08:[privacy contact redaction]and that small, medium-sized family farms
132
0:08:00 --> 0:08:02
will guarantee human freedom.
133
0:08:02 --> 0:08:[privacy contact redaction] imagine the alternative of we're all living in cities,
134
0:08:06 --> 0:08:09
all cooped up, and there's major corporations running
135
0:08:10 --> 0:08:14
big corporatized agriculture, monoculture.
136
0:08:14 --> 0:08:[privacy contact redaction]rous model.
137
0:08:16 --> 0:08:19
That's why Adrian Clark started this, because he said,
138
0:08:19 --> 0:08:24
so what's the crop that is going to most successfully
139
0:08:25 --> 0:08:29
enable profitable, sustainable family farms?
140
0:08:29 --> 0:08:30
He says, him.
141
0:08:30 --> 0:08:34
He says, well, why aren't people growing hemp?
142
0:08:34 --> 0:08:36
Because from hemp, you can make all sorts of things.
143
0:08:36 --> 0:08:40
And the answer was that it's hard to make money from hemp
144
0:08:40 --> 0:08:42
because of the problem of decortication.
145
0:08:42 --> 0:08:46
So he says, okay, I will solve the problem of decortication.
146
0:08:46 --> 0:08:50
So that's what he did when he started in 1994.
147
0:08:50 --> 0:08:52
And I'm delighted to announce
148
0:08:52 --> 0:08:55
that this big problem has been solved.
149
0:08:55 --> 0:09:[privacy contact redaction] 8,000 years, the only way to separate
150
0:09:01 --> 0:09:[privacy contact redaction]ant, the stalk of the plant
151
0:09:03 --> 0:09:06
into its component parts was to commence with retting,
152
0:09:06 --> 0:09:[privacy contact redaction]alk.
153
0:09:08 --> 0:09:12
Retting is a rotting process designed to break down
154
0:09:12 --> 0:09:[privacy contact redaction]ant
155
0:09:14 --> 0:09:[privacy contact redaction]ion.
156
0:09:17 --> 0:09:[privacy contact redaction]s.
157
0:09:20 --> 0:09:22
Soaking in hot water, the Chinese do that a lot,
158
0:09:22 --> 0:09:26
in huge vats of boiling water,
159
0:09:26 --> 0:09:[privacy contact redaction]alks in the field
160
0:09:28 --> 0:09:31
for three to six weeks, steaming the stalks
161
0:09:31 --> 0:09:33
or a combination of those.
162
0:09:33 --> 0:09:38
Retting is expensive, labor intensive, time consuming
163
0:09:38 --> 0:09:[privacy contact redaction]ralian climate.
164
0:09:42 --> 0:09:[privacy contact redaction]ian lived in Melbourne, Australia, where I live,
165
0:09:45 --> 0:09:47
but also for many climates around the world.
166
0:09:47 --> 0:09:52
But also, even if the climate is supportive,
167
0:09:52 --> 0:09:56
it's still labor intensive, time consuming, expensive,
168
0:09:56 --> 0:09:[privacy contact redaction]
169
0:10:01 --> 0:10:03
So he identified the problems as, gosh,
170
0:10:03 --> 0:10:05
if we could identify that problem,
171
0:10:05 --> 0:10:07
then farmers would grow hemp
172
0:10:07 --> 0:10:11
and thereby secure their future profitability.
173
0:10:11 --> 0:10:16
And I'm telling you now that hemp is incredibly profitable
174
0:10:16 --> 0:10:19
and it doesn't matter how much of it is produced,
175
0:10:19 --> 0:10:21
it can remain profitable.
176
0:10:21 --> 0:10:[privacy contact redaction] crops where if you push production up,
177
0:10:25 --> 0:10:27
the price comes down significantly.
178

193
0:11:17 --> 0:11:[privacy contact redaction]s, healthy people, healthy planet,
194
0:11:20 --> 0:11:21
healthy profits.
195
0:11:25 --> 0:11:[privacy contact redaction]ant,
196
0:11:27 --> 0:11:[privacy contact redaction]ant has [privacy contact redaction]s.
197
0:11:32 --> 0:11:34
There's a picture for you to contemplate this.
198
0:11:34 --> 0:11:39
So there's food, clothing, buildings,
199
0:11:40 --> 0:11:42
medicine, medicinal cannabis.
200
0:11:42 --> 0:11:45
I'll put into that side the recreational side.
201
0:11:45 --> 0:11:[privacy contact redaction], that would be an 11th category, wouldn't it?
202
0:11:48 --> 0:11:51
But we'll put it as medicine, recreational, fuel,
203
0:11:51 --> 0:11:[privacy contact redaction], ethanol.
204
0:11:54 --> 0:11:58
Like a country that imports fuel,
205
0:11:58 --> 0:12:01
can use the hemp to make ethanol
206
0:12:01 --> 0:12:04
so it doesn't have to spend its foreign exchange
207
0:12:04 --> 0:12:05
on buying fuel.
208
0:12:05 --> 0:12:08
And the other source of fuel is biodiesel
209
0:12:08 --> 0:12:10
from the hemp seed oil.
210
0:12:10 --> 0:12:14
Fertilizer, so using, so the hemp plant itself
211
0:12:14 --> 0:12:17
becomes a fertilizer because it rejuvenates
212
0:12:17 --> 0:12:19
and repairs soil.
213
0:12:19 --> 0:12:24
Composite materials, so hemp fiber can replace fiberglass,
214
0:12:27 --> 0:12:[privacy contact redaction]s, cosmetics, rope and twine,
215
0:12:32 --> 0:12:35
baling twine, and packaging materials.
216
0:12:35 --> 0:12:[privacy contact redaction]ry
217
0:12:37 --> 0:12:[privacy contact redaction]e that it produces can be totally replaced
218
0:12:41 --> 0:12:46
by biodegradable, compostable, recyclable hemp products.
219
0:12:46 --> 0:12:49
Now, all of this, since we've solved the problem
220
0:12:49 --> 0:12:52
of decortication, all of this can be done
221
0:12:52 --> 0:12:[privacy contact redaction]
222
0:12:56 --> 0:12:[privacy contact redaction] to do the rating,
223
0:12:58 --> 0:13:[privacy contact redaction]s become much more expensive.
224
0:13:03 --> 0:13:08
So here's the sort of profitability for hemp growing.
225
0:13:09 --> 0:13:14
This is the indicative numbers for one hectare.
226
0:13:15 --> 0:13:20
It's reasonably accurate for US numbers as well.
227
0:13:20 --> 0:13:[privacy contact redaction] to buy the seed,
228
0:13:22 --> 0:13:[privacy contact redaction],
229
0:13:24 --> 0:13:[privacy contact redaction]
230
0:13:26 --> 0:13:[privacy contact redaction] and process,
231
0:13:29 --> 0:13:[privacy contact redaction]s for sale.
232
0:13:33 --> 0:13:36
And these are accurate numbers.
233
0:13:36 --> 0:13:[privacy contact redaction]are, which is two and a half acres,
234
0:13:40 --> 0:13:43
2.47 acres to be precise.
235
0:13:43 --> 0:13:[privacy contact redaction]are
236
0:13:46 --> 0:13:50
will produce three tonnes of fiber worth $7,500.
237
0:13:51 --> 0:13:[privacy contact redaction] worth $7,000.
238
0:13:55 --> 0:13:58
One tonne of seed for $3,000.
239
0:13:58 --> 0:14:03
So that's $17,500 of farm gate value.
240
0:14:03 --> 0:14:[privacy contact redaction] of producing that is your $2,[privacy contact redaction],
241
0:14:08 --> 0:14:12
your $4,[privacy contact redaction]s.
242
0:14:12 --> 0:14:15
$6,000, take that off $17,500.
243
0:14:16 --> 0:14:19
There's the potential there for eight, nine, 10,
244
0:14:19 --> 0:14:22
$11,[privacy contact redaction]are.
245
0:14:22 --> 0:14:[privacy contact redaction]s in America, around the world,
246
0:14:25 --> 0:14:28
you can grow two crops a year.
247
0:14:28 --> 0:14:32
Now the one element that this does not take into account
248
0:14:32 --> 0:14:[privacy contact redaction] of your land.
249
0:14:35 --> 0:14:[privacy contact redaction] to rent land,
250
0:14:38 --> 0:14:[privacy contact redaction]
251
0:14:40 --> 0:14:41
off your profitability.
252
0:14:41 --> 0:14:44
Or if you own land, then of course,
253
0:14:44 --> 0:14:[privacy contact redaction]
254
0:14:46 --> 0:14:48
has to be taken into account.
255
0:14:49 --> 0:14:54
Hemp is very profitable when you don't have to do renting.
256
0:14:54 --> 0:14:56
And that's what Adrian could see.
257
0:14:56 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction]are doing this,
258
0:15:00 --> 0:15:03
well, you can start to see that a [privacy contact redaction]are family farm,
259
0:15:03 --> 0:15:08
25 acre family farm can make $100,000 profit per crop.
260
0:15:09 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction]art to see gosh,
261
0:15:11 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction]ies in regional and rural areas
262
0:15:14 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction]ruggle streets
263
0:15:17 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction]ant.
264
0:15:22 --> 0:15:24
So let's look at the cross section of this plant.
265
0:15:28 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction]alk is made up of two key parts,
266
0:15:32 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction] on the inside.
267
0:15:36 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction]ant,
268
0:15:39 --> 0:15:41
whether it's produced for medicinal purposes,
269
0:15:41 --> 0:15:42
for seed purposes,
270
0:15:42 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction]alk looks like this.
271
0:15:45 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction]alk and cut it
272
0:15:47 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction] a look at it yourself.
273
0:15:50 --> 0:15:[privacy contact redaction] is approximately 70% by weight
274
0:15:53 --> 0:15:56
and the fibre is 30%.
275
0:15:56 --> 0:15:59
And the challenge is to take the fibre off the herd.
276
0:15:59 --> 0:16:01
That's what we do.
277
0:16:01 --> 0:16:05
And you can see the uses to which you put the herd.
278
0:16:05 --> 0:16:[privacy contact redaction], so animal bedding, mulch, chemical absorbent,
279
0:16:10 --> 0:16:[privacy contact redaction], insulation, concrete, the fibre is rope,
280
0:16:13 --> 0:16:16
netting, canvas, carpet, biocomposites,
281
0:16:16 --> 0:16:19
non-woven clothes, shoes, bags.
282
0:16:19 --> 0:16:[privacy contact redaction]alk, which is a less profitable way,
283
0:16:24 --> 0:16:[privacy contact redaction]alk can be used for biofuel,
284
0:16:26 --> 0:16:29
but it's much better to use the herd for ethanol,
285
0:16:29 --> 0:16:32
the biofuel from the seed, as I've talked about,
286
0:16:32 --> 0:16:[privacy contact redaction]s, you can use the whole hemp stalk
287
0:16:35 --> 0:16:39
to make pulp, cardboard and filters.
288
0:16:40 --> 0:16:45
So this is what a ideal fibre hemp crop looks like.
289
0:16:45 --> 0:16:47
So when I talk hemp crops,
290
0:16:47 --> 0:16:[privacy contact redaction]e talk about it.
291
0:16:49 --> 0:16:[privacy contact redaction] a seed crop or a fibre crop.
292
0:16:52 --> 0:16:[privacy contact redaction]raight like bamboo crops.
293
0:16:57 --> 0:17:00
They can go to 10, 12, 15.
294
0:17:00 --> 0:17:[privacy contact redaction], we've had reports in America
295
0:17:02 --> 0:17:05
of 18 foot high fibre crops.
296
0:17:05 --> 0:17:07
Now they're the same seed as a seed crop
297
0:17:07 --> 0:17:10
but they're planted close together
298
0:17:10 --> 0:17:[privacy contact redaction]ant grows up.
299
0:17:12 --> 0:17:[privacy contact redaction]ed days.
300
0:17:15 --> 0:17:17
Look at that.
301
0:17:17 --> 0:17:18
That's just ridiculous.
302
0:17:18 --> 0:17:23
It's 12, 13, [privacy contact redaction]ed days from seed.
303
0:17:23 --> 0:17:24
So it's not permanent.
304
0:17:24 --> 0:17:[privacy contact redaction]ant the seed and this is what it grows to.
305
0:17:28 --> 0:17:31
And this, every part of this biomass is valuable.
306
0:17:35 --> 0:17:38
Anticoidicator that overcomes the problem of retting.
307
0:17:38 --> 0:17:41
This is what it currently looks like.
308
0:17:42 --> 0:17:44
This machine is a machine,
309
0:17:44 --> 0:17:47
two of these machines are in Pennsylvania
310
0:17:48 --> 0:17:52
and we are having lots of inquiries with people
311
0:17:52 --> 0:17:55
all around the world who's starting to understand
312
0:17:55 --> 0:17:56
value of hemp.
313
0:17:58 --> 0:18:02
This machine is fully computer linked,
314
0:18:02 --> 0:18:04
internet of things linked.
315
0:18:04 --> 0:18:08
All of the elements of it are cross-referenced
316
0:18:08 --> 0:18:10
so that it can't be damaged in use.
317
0:18:10 --> 0:18:13
But it's a pretty sophisticated machine.
318
0:18:13 --> 0:18:[privacy contact redaction] under half a million US dollars.
319
0:18:17 --> 0:18:[privacy contact redaction] that it works is that conveyor here,
320
0:18:22 --> 0:18:25
you send the, after you've harvested the hemp.
321
0:18:25 --> 0:18:[privacy contact redaction] to literally slash the hemp
322
0:18:28 --> 0:18:[privacy contact redaction]alks to this machine.
323
0:18:31 --> 0:18:[privacy contact redaction]ory
324
0:18:34 --> 0:18:[privacy contact redaction]alks,
325
0:18:35 --> 0:18:[privacy contact redaction]alks up this conveyor.
326
0:18:39 --> 0:18:43
And then the decoidicator itself decoidicates
327
0:18:43 --> 0:18:47
and the fiber comes out this chute.
328
0:18:47 --> 0:18:52
And on this side, so the chute goes out the back there
329
0:18:52 --> 0:18:[privacy contact redaction] comes down this side.
330
0:18:54 --> 0:18:56
Or here's another view, the herd comes out here
331
0:18:56 --> 0:19:00
having been fed in on the other side of the machine.
332
0:19:00 --> 0:19:02
And literally it's a mechanical process
333
0:19:02 --> 0:19:[privacy contact redaction]
334
0:19:04 --> 0:19:09
It's not 100% separation, it's 85 to 90%.
335
0:19:09 --> 0:19:13
So that means there's a small amount of herd in the fiber
336
0:19:13 --> 0:19:16
and there's a small amount of fiber in the herd,
337
0:19:16 --> 0:19:19
both of which can be separated quite conveniently.
338
0:19:19 --> 0:19:[privacy contact redaction]e is we're talking about
339
0:19:21 --> 0:19:23
a natural crop.
340
0:19:23 --> 0:19:27
So that the rules for the operation of this machine are,
341
0:19:27 --> 0:19:30
if you put, like any machine, if you put garbage in,
342
0:19:30 --> 0:19:32
you get garbage out.
343
0:19:32 --> 0:19:36
If you imagine this crop here being harvested,
344
0:19:36 --> 0:19:[privacy contact redaction]raight that is,
345
0:19:38 --> 0:19:[privacy contact redaction]alk up the conveyor,
346
0:19:42 --> 0:19:44
it's gonna give you a much better result
347
0:19:44 --> 0:19:48
than if you've got a crop that has been dried
348
0:19:48 --> 0:19:53
and damaged or got lots of branches.
349
0:19:54 --> 0:19:57
The decodicator was designed for fiber crops,
350
0:19:57 --> 0:19:59
but it will decodicate anything.
351
0:19:59 --> 0:20:03
It will also decodicate cannaf and other,
352
0:20:03 --> 0:20:05
it will decodicate flax, for example.
353
0:20:05 --> 0:20:08
But we're focused on hemp because hemp fiber
354
0:20:08 --> 0:20:[privacy contact redaction]t.
355
0:20:14 --> 0:20:17
Now, this is the development journey.
356
0:20:17 --> 0:20:18
Have a look.
357
0:20:18 --> 0:20:22
This is what the D8 decodicator looked like in 2012.
358
0:20:24 --> 0:20:27
Isn't that, that's when I joined the company 10 years ago.
359
0:20:29 --> 0:20:31
That's what it looks like now.
360
0:20:31 --> 0:20:34
That's what it looked like then.
361
0:20:34 --> 0:20:38
So it's been an amazing development journey.
362
0:20:39 --> 0:20:42
Then that machine became this machine.
363
0:20:42 --> 0:20:[privacy contact redaction]oria.
364
0:20:45 --> 0:20:47
It's a demonstration machine.
365
0:20:48 --> 0:20:52
The essence of the D8 is in there.
366
0:20:52 --> 0:20:55
It's protected by confidentiality,
367
0:20:55 --> 0:20:58
and anyone who buys one of our machines
368
0:20:58 --> 0:21:00
has to sign confidentiality agreements.
369
0:21:01 --> 0:21:05
This machine then developed into this next version,
370
0:21:05 --> 0:21:09
which has all of the safety requirements for Canada,
371
0:21:09 --> 0:21:12
America, Europe, Australia,
372
0:21:12 --> 0:21:17
and also has digital linkage back to head office
373
0:21:18 --> 0:21:[privacy contact redaction]ralia of the operations of this machine.
374
0:21:22 --> 0:21:25
And so this machine that you can see on the screen
375
0:21:25 --> 0:21:28
now has turned into this machine
376
0:21:28 --> 0:21:30
with even more enhancements.
377
0:21:32 --> 0:21:[privacy contact redaction] is now significantly
378
0:21:36 --> 0:21:[privacy contact redaction]-effective to produce without retting
379
0:21:39 --> 0:21:42
by using our D8 decoarticator.
380
0:21:43 --> 0:21:47
The D8 now enables, this solves the problem
381
0:21:47 --> 0:21:[privacy contact redaction]itute for existing products.
382
0:21:51 --> 0:21:53
On the left, you can see raw hemp fiber
383
0:21:53 --> 0:21:[privacy contact redaction]raight out of our machine.
384
0:21:55 --> 0:21:57
And then if you want to make textiles,
385
0:21:57 --> 0:21:[privacy contact redaction] to degum it.
386
0:21:58 --> 0:22:01
It's a cottonized process.
387
0:22:01 --> 0:22:[privacy contact redaction] to take the gum out of it.
388
0:22:04 --> 0:22:07
It takes about 40% of the weight,
389
0:22:07 --> 0:22:09
and then it becomes cotton-like.
390
0:22:09 --> 0:22:12
And from this, you make yarn.
391
0:22:12 --> 0:22:[privacy contact redaction] yarn, you can make any textiles.
392
0:22:15 --> 0:22:20
And not only yarn, you can also make non-woven materials.
393
0:22:20 --> 0:22:[privacy contact redaction]ion of the fiber itself can be turned
394
0:22:23 --> 0:22:26
into lots of non-woven materials, the raw fiber.
395
0:22:26 --> 0:22:29
And then if the textiles, you have to degum.
396
0:22:29 --> 0:22:30
That's an extra cost.
397
0:22:30 --> 0:22:34
All of these, the setting up of that plant,
398
0:22:34 --> 0:22:35
that's more sophisticated,
399
0:22:35 --> 0:22:[privacy contact redaction] to go
400
0:22:37 --> 0:22:[privacy contact redaction]s immediately.
401
0:22:40 --> 0:22:[privacy contact redaction]
402
0:22:45 --> 0:22:[privacy contact redaction]
403
0:22:49 --> 0:22:[privacy contact redaction] can be used to make hempcrete, paper,
404
0:22:51 --> 0:22:[privacy contact redaction], plastic, cellulose materials,
405
0:22:54 --> 0:22:57
fuel, ethanol, building products and building walls.
406
0:22:57 --> 0:22:58
It's like wood chip.
407
0:22:58 --> 0:23:[privacy contact redaction]anding on a big pile of heard.
408
0:23:03 --> 0:23:[privacy contact redaction] on the right-hand side.
409
0:23:06 --> 0:23:[privacy contact redaction] one moment.
410
0:23:10 --> 0:23:11
Sorry about that, Ali.
411
0:23:19 --> 0:23:22
As I'm sure you know, I will be available
412
0:23:22 --> 0:23:[privacy contact redaction]ions arising from this presentation.
413
0:23:25 --> 0:23:[privacy contact redaction] details are also
414
0:23:29 --> 0:23:31
at the end of the presentation.
415
0:23:31 --> 0:23:36
So this is what a hemp, heard and binder wall looks like.
416
0:23:36 --> 0:23:38
This is called hempcrete.
417
0:23:38 --> 0:23:41
This wall gives maxill insulation, yet it breathes.
418
0:23:41 --> 0:23:45
It's fire resistant, fantastic for fire prone areas.
419
0:23:45 --> 0:23:48
And hemp houses made, sorry,
420
0:23:48 --> 0:23:53
and this material is termite proof, mold proof,
421
0:23:54 --> 0:23:[privacy contact redaction] housing from it.
422
0:23:57 --> 0:23:59
Now to give you an idea,
423
0:23:59 --> 0:24:[privacy contact redaction]are,
424
0:24:01 --> 0:24:06
from two and a half acres, you can make one big house,
425
0:24:07 --> 0:24:10
two medium houses, or three smaller houses
426
0:24:10 --> 0:24:13
from one, from two and a half acres.
427
0:24:13 --> 0:24:15
So, and very cost effective.
428
0:24:15 --> 0:24:19
And these houses also maintain a cool temperature in summer,
429
0:24:19 --> 0:24:21
a warm temperature in winter.
430
0:24:21 --> 0:24:25
It's just the world's best building material.
431
0:24:29 --> 0:24:34
Here's an example of a, of a hempcrete wall.
432
0:24:37 --> 0:24:40
You can do all sorts of designs in it.
433
0:24:40 --> 0:24:[privacy contact redaction]ralian aboriginals.
434
0:24:43 --> 0:24:45
You can color it any color that you want.
435
0:24:47 --> 0:24:50
And if it's facing the weather,
436
0:24:50 --> 0:24:[privacy contact redaction]ill breathes.
437
0:24:54 --> 0:24:57
So water can't go through, but air can.
438
0:24:57 --> 0:25:01
And that's the wonderful way that hempcrete performs.
439
0:25:01 --> 0:25:[privacy contact redaction]rong.
440
0:25:04 --> 0:25:[privacy contact redaction]s fiberglass.
441
0:25:09 --> 0:25:[privacy contact redaction]ications,
442
0:25:12 --> 0:25:[privacy contact redaction] of using carbon fiber.
443
0:25:15 --> 0:25:16
When mixed with carbon fiber,
444
0:25:16 --> 0:25:20
it makes carbon fiber less, less, less,
445
0:25:20 --> 0:25:22
less liable to shatter.
446
0:25:22 --> 0:25:23
It makes it more flexible.
447
0:25:24 --> 0:25:26
Shipping pellets, we made shipping pellets
448
0:25:26 --> 0:25:28
that you can see on the left-hand side there.
449
0:25:28 --> 0:25:32
A normal wooden shipping pellet weighs 80 pounds.
450
0:25:32 --> 0:25:34
That shipping pellet that does the same job
451
0:25:34 --> 0:25:39
as an 80 pound shipping pellet weighs under 20 pounds.
452
0:25:39 --> 0:25:[privacy contact redaction]s.
453
0:25:41 --> 0:25:44
Now on the right-hand side is a car made
454
0:25:44 --> 0:25:48
out of a hemp composite body.
455
0:25:48 --> 0:25:52
So hemp composites are incredibly light, strong,
456
0:25:52 --> 0:25:[privacy contact redaction]ric vehicles as well,
457
0:25:56 --> 0:25:[privacy contact redaction]s.
458
0:25:59 --> 0:26:01
Using, if you picture anything made out of fiberglass
459
0:26:01 --> 0:26:[privacy contact redaction]ic can be made out of hemp composites.
460
0:26:06 --> 0:26:09
So there are 10 significant advantages of hemp.
461
0:26:09 --> 0:26:11
Number one, it's environmentally clean.
462
0:26:13 --> 0:26:15
Number two, it efficiently and effectively sequesters
463
0:26:15 --> 0:26:20
carbon dioxide, [privacy contact redaction]are,
464
0:26:21 --> 0:26:26
and the value of that CO2 is between 80
465
0:26:26 --> 0:26:29
and heading up to $200 a ton.
466
0:26:29 --> 0:26:32
So this is another profitability element of hemp.
467
0:26:33 --> 0:26:35
It uses minimal fertilizers
468
0:26:35 --> 0:26:38
and can be grown with zero chemicals.
469
0:26:38 --> 0:26:42
Efficient water usage, it uses 70 to 80% less water
470
0:26:42 --> 0:26:44
than cotton.
471
0:26:44 --> 0:26:45
It improves the soil.
472
0:26:45 --> 0:26:48
It's excellent, healthy, attractive profits.
473
0:26:48 --> 0:26:[privacy contact redaction]erial,
474
0:26:51 --> 0:26:53
antimicrobial, anti-mold.
475
0:26:53 --> 0:26:[privacy contact redaction] that you can make from hemp,
476
0:26:55 --> 0:26:57
now I said there are 10 categories,
477
0:26:57 --> 0:27:00
over 25,[privacy contact redaction]s.
478
0:27:00 --> 0:27:02
Now, so how can I have so many different products?
479
0:27:02 --> 0:27:05
Well, if you just take the medicinal side,
480
0:27:05 --> 0:27:[privacy contact redaction] your flowers and the buds,
481
0:27:07 --> 0:27:[privacy contact redaction]s
482
0:27:09 --> 0:27:[privacy contact redaction] the flowers and the buds.
483
0:27:12 --> 0:27:15
25, some people say close to 50,[privacy contact redaction]s.
484
0:27:15 --> 0:27:[privacy contact redaction]n't bothered to do the numbers.
485
0:27:18 --> 0:27:22
You can value add to hemp raw materials in multiple ways,
486
0:27:22 --> 0:27:[privacy contact redaction]y local and global markets.
487
0:27:25 --> 0:27:28
So if markets don't want a certain product,
488
0:27:28 --> 0:27:[privacy contact redaction]art producing a different product,
489
0:27:31 --> 0:27:[privacy contact redaction]rokes for different folks.
490
0:27:34 --> 0:27:38
And I've said before that hemp can be a magnificent
491
0:27:38 --> 0:27:[privacy contact redaction]ment for African countries in particular.
492
0:27:42 --> 0:27:44
I've spoken to many people in African countries
493
0:27:44 --> 0:27:46
over the years,
494
0:27:46 --> 0:27:48
and they say, where are we gonna export?
495
0:27:48 --> 0:27:49
No, you don't have to export.
496
0:27:49 --> 0:27:51
You grow it locally, you use it locally
497
0:27:51 --> 0:27:56
so that you don't have to import stuff from other countries
498
0:27:56 --> 0:27:59
and use valuable foreign exchange.
499
0:28:01 --> 0:28:[privacy contact redaction] value added hemp based products
500
0:28:04 --> 0:28:07
to focus on the next five years for local and global markets.
501
0:28:07 --> 0:28:10
So I've got these in order, there's six here,
502
0:28:10 --> 0:28:12
and there's another nine there.
503
0:28:13 --> 0:28:14
So fiver for clothing,
504
0:28:16 --> 0:28:[privacy contact redaction] my coffee, love coffee.
505
0:28:19 --> 0:28:22
Fiver for biodegradable weed metting.
506
0:28:22 --> 0:28:[privacy contact redaction]ic for weed metting,
507
0:28:25 --> 0:28:26
use hemp fibre.
508
0:28:26 --> 0:28:[privacy contact redaction] for hempcrete and other building purposes,
509
0:28:29 --> 0:28:32
you can make insulation from the fibre.
510
0:28:32 --> 0:28:[privacy contact redaction]ic for horse bedding
511
0:28:35 --> 0:28:37
and poultry bedding and other animals.
512
0:28:37 --> 0:28:41
And one of the issues with poultry is the disease issues.
513
0:28:41 --> 0:28:44
By using hemp, by using hemp,
514
0:28:44 --> 0:28:[privacy contact redaction], this is for the,
515
0:28:48 --> 0:28:51
it's incredibly absorbent,
516
0:28:51 --> 0:28:[privacy contact redaction] animals.
517
0:28:55 --> 0:28:56
Of course you grow the seed,
518
0:28:56 --> 0:28:[privacy contact redaction]anting
519
0:28:58 --> 0:29:[privacy contact redaction]anting purposes.
520
0:29:00 --> 0:29:02
Then you can use the seed for food.
521
0:29:02 --> 0:29:05
So hemp seed when it's used for food is called seed.
522
0:29:05 --> 0:29:08
If you're gonna be using it to plant other crops,
523
0:29:08 --> 0:29:09
it's called grain.
524
0:29:09 --> 0:29:13
Seed for cosmetics, so you get the oil from the cosmetics.
525
0:29:13 --> 0:29:17
And also the remainder materials from the seed itself
526
0:29:17 --> 0:29:20
have various uses, including bread making,
527
0:29:20 --> 0:29:22
including beer making.
528
0:29:23 --> 0:29:25
Number nine, fibre for composites,
529
0:29:25 --> 0:29:27
particularly shipping pallets, building components,
530
0:29:27 --> 0:29:30
car parts, caravans and trailers.
531
0:29:30 --> 0:29:33
Tenth, fibre and herd for edible food containers.
532
0:29:33 --> 0:29:[privacy contact redaction] imagine this, you make with potatoes,
533
0:29:38 --> 0:29:43
and hemp fibre, you make a small container,
534
0:29:44 --> 0:29:45
you put a hamburger in it,
535
0:29:45 --> 0:29:47
at the end you feed that to the pigs,
536
0:29:47 --> 0:29:50
and the pigs eat it, and it's healthy for the pigs.
537
0:29:51 --> 0:29:[privacy contact redaction]ic applications.
538
0:29:55 --> 0:29:[privacy contact redaction] for ethanol, fibre for ropes and bailing string,
539
0:29:59 --> 0:30:01
fibre for medical bandages,
540
0:30:01 --> 0:30:04
because it's natural anti-microbial, anti-bacterial,
541
0:30:04 --> 0:30:[privacy contact redaction]ion.
542
0:30:06 --> 0:30:[privacy contact redaction]en mulch,
543
0:30:08 --> 0:30:11
it's the most amazing garden mulch.
544
0:30:11 --> 0:30:[privacy contact redaction]en, most mulch after a couple of months,
545
0:30:14 --> 0:30:[privacy contact redaction]art coming through.
546
0:30:16 --> 0:30:[privacy contact redaction]ively.
547
0:30:19 --> 0:30:24
And the price that I put into the earlier financial analysis
548
0:30:30 --> 0:30:33
showed $1,[privacy contact redaction]
549
0:30:33 --> 0:30:37
But if you sell it by the pound at a home depot
550
0:30:37 --> 0:30:40
or a supermarket to local farmers,
551
0:30:40 --> 0:30:45
they will pay two to three times more
552
0:30:45 --> 0:30:49
than you would at the farm gate for big use.
553
0:30:49 --> 0:30:[privacy contact redaction]en mulch can become very profitable
554
0:30:52 --> 0:30:[privacy contact redaction]ening market.
555
0:30:56 --> 0:31:00
So, successful competition against other products
556
0:31:00 --> 0:31:[privacy contact redaction]ry growth
557
0:31:02 --> 0:31:[privacy contact redaction]rategic initiatives.
558
0:31:05 --> 0:31:07
And I'm heading well,
559
0:31:07 --> 0:31:09
I'll be finished in about 10, 12 minutes,
560
0:31:09 --> 0:31:[privacy contact redaction]anning.
561
0:31:13 --> 0:31:15
Number one, five strategies.
562
0:31:15 --> 0:31:18
Number one, generate market demand for hemp
563
0:31:18 --> 0:31:20
rather than farmer push.
564
0:31:21 --> 0:31:24
We need to identify well-funded and successful businesses
565
0:31:24 --> 0:31:[privacy contact redaction] already publicly committed to reduce
566
0:31:28 --> 0:31:[privacy contact redaction]
567
0:31:29 --> 0:31:32
And we need to educate them about the potential
568
0:31:32 --> 0:31:[privacy contact redaction]
569
0:31:35 --> 0:31:37
that they can solve their environmental challenges.
570
0:31:37 --> 0:31:42
Now, I haven't talked about three big tidal waves
571
0:31:42 --> 0:31:[privacy contact redaction]t.
572
0:31:43 --> 0:31:[privacy contact redaction]
573
0:31:46 --> 0:31:48
That relates to this environmental issue.
574
0:31:48 --> 0:31:51
ESG, big companies have to reduce
575
0:31:51 --> 0:31:53
their greenhouse gas emissions.
576
0:31:53 --> 0:31:[privacy contact redaction]ands for environmental, social,
577
0:31:56 --> 0:31:58
and governance policies.
578
0:31:58 --> 0:32:[privacy contact redaction] of companies right around the world,
579
0:32:01 --> 0:32:02
their share price is being hammered
580
0:32:02 --> 0:32:06
if they don't take the right steps on these matters.
581
0:32:06 --> 0:32:[privacy contact redaction]cular economy,
582
0:32:09 --> 0:32:[privacy contact redaction]e.
583
0:32:11 --> 0:32:12
Hemp helps that.
584
0:32:12 --> 0:32:[privacy contact redaction], the whole movement towards health.
585
0:32:16 --> 0:32:19
And you've heard with my mantra HP by four,
586
0:32:19 --> 0:32:21
hemp is all about health.
587
0:32:21 --> 0:32:25
So hemp is beautifully positioned to ride,
588
0:32:25 --> 0:32:[privacy contact redaction]s of ESG,
589
0:32:28 --> 0:32:32
circular economy, and health to magnificent success.
590
0:32:32 --> 0:32:36
That's why it's a global agribusiness game changer.
591
0:32:37 --> 0:32:41
Secondly, second strategy,
592
0:32:41 --> 0:32:45
embrace an abundant philosophy and not one of scarcity.
593
0:32:45 --> 0:32:48
Hemp can radically improve the lives of 70%
594
0:32:48 --> 0:32:50
of the world's population who today can't afford
595
0:32:50 --> 0:32:52
to buy a new cotton shirt.
596
0:32:52 --> 0:32:[privacy contact redaction]ainable economic growth will come from this 70%,
597
0:32:56 --> 0:32:[privacy contact redaction]ing 30% of consumers
598
0:32:58 --> 0:33:00
who've got plenty of money.
599
0:33:00 --> 0:33:02
Additionally, standards of living rise
600
0:33:02 --> 0:33:05
and consumption per capita increases,
601
0:33:05 --> 0:33:[privacy contact redaction]rial hemp will be desperately needed
602
0:33:07 --> 0:33:12
as the prime source of new raw materials on our planet
603
0:33:12 --> 0:33:[privacy contact redaction]s.
604
0:33:15 --> 0:33:[privacy contact redaction]ly, third strategy.
605
0:33:18 --> 0:33:23
So go back, get clear, generate market demand.
606
0:33:24 --> 0:33:[privacy contact redaction]rategy is not to go to farmers
607
0:33:25 --> 0:33:27
and get them to grow it, then try to sell it.
608
0:33:27 --> 0:33:30
No, we go to the end users and say,
609
0:33:30 --> 0:33:[privacy contact redaction]uff?
610
0:33:32 --> 0:33:[privacy contact redaction] from them,
611
0:33:34 --> 0:33:[privacy contact redaction]y chain to the farmers.
612
0:33:37 --> 0:33:40
Secondly, embrace an abundance philosophy
613
0:33:40 --> 0:33:42
and not one of scarcity.
614
0:33:42 --> 0:33:[privacy contact redaction]ly, avoid commoditization.
615
0:33:45 --> 0:33:47
Do not fall into this trap.
616
0:33:47 --> 0:33:49
Avoid the current fate of oil producers,
617
0:33:49 --> 0:33:51
although right now they're doing well.
618
0:33:51 --> 0:33:54
Iron ore producers, sugar cane milk producers.
619
0:33:54 --> 0:33:56
In their cases, it's the traders
620
0:33:56 --> 0:33:58
who make the bulk of the profits,
621
0:33:58 --> 0:34:02
not the producers or the growers or the farmers.
622
0:34:02 --> 0:34:[privacy contact redaction] this magnificent raw material
623
0:34:05 --> 0:34:09
at a cheap price, just because it's convenient.
624
0:34:09 --> 0:34:[privacy contact redaction] follows risk.
625
0:34:12 --> 0:34:14
If farmers don't wanna take any risk,
626
0:34:14 --> 0:34:16
they go, oh, well, look, I'll just sell it cheaply.
627
0:34:16 --> 0:34:19
I'll get a contract and sell it cheaply.
628
0:34:19 --> 0:34:20
Good, you lock in a profit,
629
0:34:20 --> 0:34:22
but the profit's nothing like what's possible.
630
0:34:23 --> 0:34:27
Now, there will be cooperatives formed,
631
0:34:27 --> 0:34:[privacy contact redaction] for small farmers to come together
632
0:34:31 --> 0:34:33
to make this whole process happen.
633
0:34:34 --> 0:34:[privacy contact redaction]rategy, harness the skills, experience
634
0:34:37 --> 0:34:[privacy contact redaction]ies
635
0:34:39 --> 0:34:[privacy contact redaction]s that should be produced
636
0:34:43 --> 0:34:[privacy contact redaction]y the hungry markets
637
0:34:45 --> 0:34:[privacy contact redaction]s both locally and globally.
638
0:34:48 --> 0:34:51
So when you think about any country, any state in a country,
639
0:34:51 --> 0:34:[privacy contact redaction]ates in the US,
640
0:34:54 --> 0:34:[privacy contact redaction]ate?
641
0:34:57 --> 0:34:[privacy contact redaction]s can be made out of hemp,
642
0:34:59 --> 0:35:01
so you make it locally, produce it locally,
643
0:35:01 --> 0:35:03
don't have any transport costs.
644
0:35:03 --> 0:35:05
And then you say, well, what skills have we got
645
0:35:05 --> 0:35:[privacy contact redaction]ate?
646
0:35:06 --> 0:35:08
And there could be skills in a particular place
647
0:35:08 --> 0:35:11
that then enable global markets to be accessed
648
0:35:11 --> 0:35:13
because of those special skills.
649
0:35:15 --> 0:35:18
And then fifthly, we have to educate local
650
0:35:18 --> 0:35:[privacy contact redaction]rategy
651
0:35:20 --> 0:35:[privacy contact redaction]cular Economy Principles
652
0:35:23 --> 0:35:[privacy contact redaction]rial hemp is the solution
653
0:35:26 --> 0:35:28
that they've been seeking.
654
0:35:29 --> 0:35:33
Hemp can be grown using organic, biodynamic
655
0:35:33 --> 0:35:[privacy contact redaction]ices.
656
0:35:35 --> 0:35:37
Whoops, I've got an extra hand.
657
0:35:37 --> 0:35:[privacy contact redaction] level of chemical free,
658
0:35:40 --> 0:35:42
biodynamic is one level above it
659
0:35:42 --> 0:35:[privacy contact redaction] level.
660
0:35:44 --> 0:35:48
You don't have to use harmful chemicals to grow hemp
661
0:35:48 --> 0:35:49
successfully.
662
0:35:49 --> 0:35:52
Hemp is naturally antibiotic and it cuts UV rays
663
0:35:52 --> 0:35:53
when you're wearing it.
664
0:35:53 --> 0:35:[privacy contact redaction]ries and economies to flourish.
665
0:35:59 --> 0:36:02
Here's my proposition to you.
666
0:36:02 --> 0:36:[privacy contact redaction]rial hemp without reading can make an immediate,
667
0:36:05 --> 0:36:09
inspiring, nurturing, positive, sustaining
668
0:36:09 --> 0:36:12
and life-giving difference to the planet.
669
0:36:12 --> 0:36:15
Your job, whoever you are watching this presentation,
670
0:36:15 --> 0:36:18
is to share the ideas, insights and possibilities
671
0:36:18 --> 0:36:[privacy contact redaction] occurred to you, where you live
672
0:36:22 --> 0:36:[privacy contact redaction]ions,
673
0:36:24 --> 0:36:26
because you've experienced this presentation
674
0:36:26 --> 0:36:[privacy contact redaction]ivity,
675
0:36:28 --> 0:36:31
jobs and skills development.
676
0:36:31 --> 0:36:[privacy contact redaction]and,
677
0:36:33 --> 0:36:[privacy contact redaction]and where did jobs come from?
678
0:36:36 --> 0:36:39
They come from entrepreneurs, from people doing things.
679
0:36:39 --> 0:36:41
When you sit on your bum and do nothing,
680
0:36:41 --> 0:36:43
nothing gets created.
681
0:36:43 --> 0:36:[privacy contact redaction]e go out there and do wonderful, healthy work
682
0:36:49 --> 0:36:50
and convert this magnificent crop
683
0:36:50 --> 0:36:53
into the wonderful solutions that it can,
684
0:36:53 --> 0:36:[privacy contact redaction]ies.
685
0:36:56 --> 0:36:[privacy contact redaction]ivity
686
0:36:57 --> 0:37:[privacy contact redaction]y a representation for human activity.
687
0:37:03 --> 0:37:[privacy contact redaction]art,
688
0:37:04 --> 0:37:[privacy contact redaction]arted 28 years ago in 1994
689
0:37:09 --> 0:37:11
to enable farmers to be profitable,
690
0:37:11 --> 0:37:[privacy contact redaction]y chain
691
0:37:15 --> 0:37:18
to be profitably engaged in hemp.
692
0:37:18 --> 0:37:[privacy contact redaction]ant
693
0:37:21 --> 0:37:24
that God has made available to us.
694
0:37:24 --> 0:37:26
It's been around for 8,000 plus years.
695
0:37:26 --> 0:37:[privacy contact redaction] solved the biggest problem
696
0:37:30 --> 0:37:35
of converting hemp into profits, which is decortication.
697
0:37:35 --> 0:37:40
And the only reason why hemp is not the preeminent
698
0:37:41 --> 0:37:[privacy contact redaction]t
699
0:37:44 --> 0:37:46
is because of political influence,
700
0:37:46 --> 0:37:49
because of the influence of the oil,
701
0:37:49 --> 0:37:[privacy contact redaction]ry of certain global elites
702
0:37:53 --> 0:37:56
who do not want hemp to succeed.
703
0:37:56 --> 0:37:59
And my vision for hemp is that local communities
704
0:37:59 --> 0:38:01
can literally grow hemp
705
0:38:01 --> 0:38:[privacy contact redaction]uffed.
706
0:38:04 --> 0:38:[privacy contact redaction]y to be totally self-sufficient
707
0:38:08 --> 0:38:12
because it's got [privacy contact redaction]s.
708
0:38:12 --> 0:38:[privacy contact redaction] three, the first four, the most important,
709
0:38:15 --> 0:38:20
food, clothing, shelter, medicine, and the fifth one, fuel.
710
0:38:21 --> 0:38:22
What else do you need?
711
0:38:23 --> 0:38:27
And the other point I make is that if all you had to eat
712
0:38:27 --> 0:38:29
was hemp seed, you would survive.
713
0:38:29 --> 0:38:31
It would be pretty boring,
714
0:38:31 --> 0:38:32
but hemp seed would enable you
715
0:38:32 --> 0:38:35
with a wonderful source of protein that it is
716
0:38:35 --> 0:38:38
to survive on that as a food source alone.
717
0:38:38 --> 0:38:[privacy contact redaction]y
718
0:38:41 --> 0:38:45
could literally go off grid and to live a magnificent life
719
0:38:45 --> 0:38:[privacy contact redaction] the influence of globalist agendas,
720
0:38:49 --> 0:38:53
of corrupt medical officials to live healthy lives,
721
0:38:53 --> 0:38:[privacy contact redaction] a magnificent experience
722
0:38:54 --> 0:38:57
of this thing we call life on earth.
723
0:38:57 --> 0:39:00
Get into hemp, it's the future.
724
0:39:00 --> 0:39:[privacy contact redaction]ening.
725
0:39:01 --> 0:39:04
I'm now readily available for questions.
726
0:39:08 --> 0:39:[privacy contact redaction] a question.
727
0:39:12 --> 0:39:14
And to make this sensible,
728
0:39:14 --> 0:39:[privacy contact redaction]ions tab below.
729
0:39:17 --> 0:39:[privacy contact redaction]ions tab,
730
0:39:19 --> 0:39:24
you raise your hand and I'll handle the questions in order
731
0:39:24 --> 0:39:28
so that there's not seven of us talking at the same time.
732
0:39:28 --> 0:39:[privacy contact redaction]ions, comments, thoughts?
733
0:39:41 --> 0:39:42
Great.
734
0:39:43 --> 0:39:45
Hi, Charles.
735
0:39:45 --> 0:39:49
So thanks again for doing the presentation.
736
0:39:49 --> 0:39:[privacy contact redaction]ion is this.
737
0:39:52 --> 0:39:55
I know you said we should reach out to the off tickets first
738
0:39:55 --> 0:39:57
and we do agree.
739
0:40:01 --> 0:40:03
And I saw in your,
740
0:40:03 --> 0:40:04
some of that one of the attachments you sent
741
0:40:04 --> 0:40:08
that you offer some sort of consultation or in that process.
742
0:40:08 --> 0:40:09
Yes, we did.
743
0:40:09 --> 0:40:11
What does it take to get that part?
744
0:40:11 --> 0:40:14
Because what I'm thinking is we would start there
745
0:40:14 --> 0:40:17
and kind of form our relationship with you guys
746
0:40:17 --> 0:40:[privacy contact redaction]an together.
747
0:40:19 --> 0:40:23
And then I saw that you had a few other options as well,
748
0:40:23 --> 0:40:26
as far as joint ventures and things.
749
0:40:26 --> 0:40:31
But because, like you said, we should decide exactly,
750
0:40:31 --> 0:40:33
depending on which area we are,
751
0:40:33 --> 0:40:[privacy contact redaction]s that we put out.
752
0:40:36 --> 0:40:39
And Craig, in any group that watches this,
753
0:40:39 --> 0:40:41
and so we'll make it specific,
754
0:40:41 --> 0:40:46
but also this presentation can go to other places as well.
755
0:40:48 --> 0:40:51
It's a great question that you ask.
756
0:40:51 --> 0:40:[privacy contact redaction]art to go, what problems can hemp solve?
757
0:40:55 --> 0:41:00
And then you go, okay, so what connections do we have,
758
0:41:00 --> 0:41:[privacy contact redaction] that we can access?
759
0:41:04 --> 0:41:07
Because the world works through relationships.
760
0:41:07 --> 0:41:[privacy contact redaction]art to go, okay,
761
0:41:08 --> 0:41:[privacy contact redaction]ion,
762
0:41:10 --> 0:41:[privacy contact redaction] relationships?
763
0:41:12 --> 0:41:[privacy contact redaction]rangers.
764
0:41:14 --> 0:41:17
It's much easier to go to people we have relationships.
765
0:41:17 --> 0:41:22
And this group, any group has identified problems.
766
0:41:22 --> 0:41:[privacy contact redaction]t.
767
0:41:24 --> 0:41:[privacy contact redaction]ion for each group is to say,
768
0:41:26 --> 0:41:29
well, what problem do we want to solve?
769
0:41:29 --> 0:41:31
Now, if we're focusing on Africa,
770
0:41:31 --> 0:41:35
an African country will say, we need economic activity.
771
0:41:35 --> 0:41:36
That's true.
772
0:41:36 --> 0:41:[privacy contact redaction]arting point can be,
773
0:41:38 --> 0:41:43
well, in your country, what do you spend export dollars on?
774
0:41:44 --> 0:41:47
Or if you think of Haiti, if you think of Cuba,
775
0:41:47 --> 0:41:50
if you think of Central American countries,
776
0:41:50 --> 0:41:53
whose economy, whose GDP is way below that of America.
777
0:41:53 --> 0:41:54
So why is that?
778
0:41:54 --> 0:41:[privacy contact redaction]n't got jobs.
779
0:41:57 --> 0:41:[privacy contact redaction]art to go,
780
0:41:59 --> 0:42:00
I wonder what jobs we could do.
781
0:42:00 --> 0:42:[privacy contact redaction]art to go,
782
0:42:01 --> 0:42:04
what could we produce in Haiti with a crop,
783
0:42:04 --> 0:42:[privacy contact redaction]eka, we then got herd,
784
0:42:07 --> 0:42:[privacy contact redaction] to Kentucky.
785
0:42:10 --> 0:42:13
And we've got people doing stuff.
786
0:42:13 --> 0:42:[privacy contact redaction]e out of poverty
787
0:42:16 --> 0:42:21
is to give them useful, valuable, sensible, healthy jobs.
788
0:42:24 --> 0:42:26
And because there's 25,[privacy contact redaction]s
789
0:42:26 --> 0:42:28
that can be made,
790
0:42:28 --> 0:42:31
it doesn't mean that there's one answer to this question.
791
0:42:31 --> 0:42:[privacy contact redaction] to use what's called,
792
0:42:34 --> 0:42:[privacy contact redaction] to use our imagination.
793
0:42:35 --> 0:42:[privacy contact redaction]art to go, gosh, I wonder what would be possible.
794
0:42:38 --> 0:42:40
And then because of my experience,
795
0:42:40 --> 0:42:[privacy contact redaction]us years I've been in business,
796
0:42:43 --> 0:42:47
I can help guide, have connections too.
797
0:42:47 --> 0:42:48
And the other issue that will happen
798
0:42:48 --> 0:42:[privacy contact redaction]e in the world, individuals,
799
0:42:53 --> 0:42:55
there are over a thousand billionaires
800
0:42:55 --> 0:42:[privacy contact redaction]t today.
801
0:42:58 --> 0:42:59
Okay?
802
0:42:59 --> 0:43:00
There's plenty of money.
803
0:43:01 --> 0:43:04
And so you say, well, who do we get the money from?
804
0:43:04 --> 0:43:[privacy contact redaction]rategy.
805
0:43:05 --> 0:43:[privacy contact redaction]ion is, who do you know
806
0:43:08 --> 0:43:[privacy contact redaction]ion,
807
0:43:10 --> 0:43:13
go, a big billionaire, for example,
808
0:43:13 --> 0:43:15
who says, I'm concerned about, let's take Haiti,
809
0:43:15 --> 0:43:17
or let's take an African country.
810
0:43:17 --> 0:43:20
I'm concerned about what's happening in Malawi.
811
0:43:20 --> 0:43:23
We find that billionaire and we do a pitch to them.
812
0:43:23 --> 0:43:25
So hey, we've got the imagination,
813
0:43:25 --> 0:43:27
we've got the skills.
814
0:43:27 --> 0:43:31
All we need is $20 million for you to make a big difference
815
0:43:31 --> 0:43:[privacy contact redaction]
816
0:43:34 --> 0:43:35
Make sense?
817
0:43:36 --> 0:43:37
Yes.
818
0:43:37 --> 0:43:39
And then as far as the facility,
819
0:43:39 --> 0:43:43
do you recommend that we do, say in the DRC,
820
0:43:43 --> 0:43:45
do we do a multi-purpose facility
821
0:43:45 --> 0:43:[privacy contact redaction]emental pieces of equipment
822
0:43:48 --> 0:43:50
as far as like the degumming, the dryers,
823
0:43:50 --> 0:43:53
and all those other things to support multi products?
824
0:43:53 --> 0:43:58
No, I say, do not do degumming at the start.
825
0:43:58 --> 0:43:59
Okay.
826
0:43:59 --> 0:44:03
Because globally, just to give you a context,
827
0:44:03 --> 0:44:06
the Federation of International Hemp Organizations,
828
0:44:06 --> 0:44:09
there's 200,[privacy contact redaction]ares, half a million acres
829
0:44:09 --> 0:44:11
of hemp being grown around the world.
830
0:44:11 --> 0:44:12
It's nothing.
831
0:44:13 --> 0:44:14
Okay.
832
0:44:14 --> 0:44:16
And so if in, for example,
833
0:44:16 --> 0:44:18
you use the Democratic Republic of Congo,
834
0:44:19 --> 0:44:22
you say, right, well, what should we produce?
835
0:44:22 --> 0:44:[privacy contact redaction]art by producing the fiber and the herd.
836
0:44:25 --> 0:44:30
We bail up, you get a cotton press, a wool press,
837
0:44:30 --> 0:44:[privacy contact redaction] occasion
838
0:44:33 --> 0:44:36
and ship that to China, ship that to Turkey.
839
0:44:36 --> 0:44:38
There's such a demand for hemp fiber,
840
0:44:38 --> 0:44:40
you don't have, don't over-engineer it.
841
0:44:41 --> 0:44:45
Unless there are textile experts in a particular group,
842
0:44:45 --> 0:44:49
or unless there are textile experts already in the DRC,
843
0:44:49 --> 0:44:50
but you can also send that fiber
844
0:44:50 --> 0:44:54
to other textile producing countries in Africa,
845
0:44:54 --> 0:44:57
because Africa produces a lot of textiles.
846
0:44:57 --> 0:44:59
So don't over-engineer.
847
0:44:59 --> 0:45:[privacy contact redaction] one, two, or three crops.
848
0:45:03 --> 0:45:[privacy contact redaction]art coming in,
849
0:45:05 --> 0:45:[privacy contact redaction]s more money.
850
0:45:08 --> 0:45:08
Okay.
851
0:45:08 --> 0:45:[privacy contact redaction] the D8
852
0:45:12 --> 0:45:15
and what else?
853
0:45:15 --> 0:45:[privacy contact redaction]er.
854
0:45:17 --> 0:45:19
You need to, then you need a planter.
855
0:45:19 --> 0:45:22
Now we need, we got jobs, okay?
856
0:45:22 --> 0:45:[privacy contact redaction]ralia, we use an air seeder.
857
0:45:25 --> 0:45:28
Now an air seeder is very efficient, they're not expensive,
858
0:45:28 --> 0:45:31
but they can be hired as well.
859
0:45:31 --> 0:45:[privacy contact redaction]ant the seed, it grows, it then needs to be cut.
860
0:45:35 --> 0:45:39
So it can be cut by hand, it can be had jobs that way.
861
0:45:39 --> 0:45:41
Or you, you know, so the slashing process in the quick,
862
0:45:41 --> 0:45:44
and then I recommend that it go to seed.
863
0:45:44 --> 0:45:46
So as it grows taller, it goes to seed,
864
0:45:46 --> 0:45:[privacy contact redaction], take the seed off the top,
865
0:45:49 --> 0:45:[privacy contact redaction]raight after that comes
866
0:45:51 --> 0:45:[privacy contact redaction]alk.
867
0:45:52 --> 0:45:[privacy contact redaction]ure the, here's the stalk,
868
0:45:56 --> 0:45:58
it's got the seed at the top, take that off the top,
869
0:45:58 --> 0:45:59
because that's valuable.
870
0:45:59 --> 0:46:[privacy contact redaction]alk,
871
0:46:00 --> 0:46:03
that gets cut and brought to the decorticator,
872
0:46:03 --> 0:46:05
and then it's produced in the fiber and herd.
873
0:46:05 --> 0:46:09
And then you've got four products, four raw materials.
874
0:46:09 --> 0:46:12
You've got seed, you've got the fiber,
875
0:46:12 --> 0:46:14
you've got the herd, and you've got the dust.
876
0:46:14 --> 0:46:[privacy contact redaction] is cellulose, it's also valuable.
877
0:46:18 --> 0:46:19
All right, I got a question.
878
0:46:19 --> 0:46:20
Can I get one then?
879
0:46:21 --> 0:46:25
Peace and blessings, everybody.
880
0:46:25 --> 0:46:26
That's on the call.
881
0:46:26 --> 0:46:29
All right, so I spoke to my people in Queens, right?
882
0:46:29 --> 0:46:[privacy contact redaction]ed in a digital farmers market.
883
0:46:34 --> 0:46:[privacy contact redaction]e
884
0:46:37 --> 0:46:[privacy contact redaction] a farmers market,
885
0:46:39 --> 0:46:[privacy contact redaction] like you in Africa.
886
0:46:41 --> 0:46:[privacy contact redaction]ures with tarp and the whole nine.
887
0:46:45 --> 0:46:47
So I spoke with one of them men,
888
0:46:47 --> 0:46:[privacy contact redaction] with the guys
889
0:46:51 --> 0:46:[privacy contact redaction] the machine that's in Pennsylvania,
890
0:46:54 --> 0:46:[privacy contact redaction]
891
0:46:57 --> 0:46:59
or whatever that I can purchase,
892
0:46:59 --> 0:47:04
and I wanna build a farmers market booth
893
0:47:05 --> 0:47:[privacy contact redaction], and I wanna tape it and everything
894
0:47:08 --> 0:47:13
so I can use that media that I make as promotion
895
0:47:13 --> 0:47:[privacy contact redaction], to show people
896
0:47:16 --> 0:47:20
how we can take small things and create bigger things
897
0:47:20 --> 0:47:[privacy contact redaction]y.
898
0:47:22 --> 0:47:25
So I'm willing to pay for some board
899
0:47:25 --> 0:47:[privacy contact redaction]orefront out of.
900
0:47:30 --> 0:47:31
Is that possible?
901
0:47:33 --> 0:47:[privacy contact redaction]s to do that.
902
0:47:34 --> 0:47:37
I'm happy to talk about how you would do that
903
0:47:37 --> 0:47:39
to do the promotion at a farmers market.
904
0:47:39 --> 0:47:44
We attend a TCI, a textile,
905
0:47:45 --> 0:47:49
an air company, but also the Australian industrial hemp allies.
906
0:47:49 --> 0:47:54
We attend four exhibitions each year,
907
0:47:54 --> 0:47:56
and we've got beautiful products to demonstrate.
908
0:47:56 --> 0:47:58
You don't need to make it out of hemp.
909
0:47:58 --> 0:48:00
We've got a whole bunch of products
910
0:48:00 --> 0:48:01
that are available to be shown,
911
0:48:01 --> 0:48:[privacy contact redaction]e are fascinated by,
912
0:48:03 --> 0:48:06
and I'll show you pictures of it at some point.
913
0:48:06 --> 0:48:[privacy contact redaction]e are fascinated by all the possibilities with hemp,
914
0:48:08 --> 0:48:11
and there's some wonderful ways to demonstrate to people
915
0:48:11 --> 0:48:13
what hemp is capable of doing,
916
0:48:13 --> 0:48:16
but you're absolutely on the right track
917
0:48:16 --> 0:48:[privacy contact redaction]e what's possible to shift their mindset.
918
0:48:19 --> 0:48:21
Yeah, I wanna build something.
919
0:48:21 --> 0:48:[privacy contact redaction]ore first,
920
0:48:25 --> 0:48:27
and then I'll create a relationship
921
0:48:27 --> 0:48:[privacy contact redaction] from,
922
0:48:29 --> 0:48:31
because once I do this,
923
0:48:31 --> 0:48:33
then everybody else's booth gonna be wanting
924
0:48:33 --> 0:48:34
to be made out of this,
925
0:48:34 --> 0:48:36
because right now they're having an issue
926
0:48:36 --> 0:48:[privacy contact redaction] that they make it,
927
0:48:38 --> 0:48:42
and those tops and everything, they leak.
928
0:48:42 --> 0:48:[privacy contact redaction]e are losing things.
929
0:48:44 --> 0:48:46
So this is like you said,
930
0:48:46 --> 0:48:[privacy contact redaction]
931
0:48:48 --> 0:48:51
is finding a solution to a problem.
932
0:48:52 --> 0:48:[privacy contact redaction], man, where I can demonstrate.
933
0:48:55 --> 0:48:56
Yes, I see what you're,
934
0:48:56 --> 0:48:58
so the farmers market,
935
0:48:58 --> 0:49:00
these are all the farmers who come in out of the open
936
0:49:00 --> 0:49:01
and it's pouring rain,
937
0:49:01 --> 0:49:03
and they wanna know.
938
0:49:03 --> 0:49:04
Yeah, and they losing product.
939
0:49:04 --> 0:49:06
Rain is going down into the chart.
940
0:49:07 --> 0:49:12
So I was like, yo, we can build out the first store
941
0:49:12 --> 0:49:[privacy contact redaction]s and everything,
942
0:49:14 --> 0:49:17
and then put something waterproof on the outside of it.
943
0:49:17 --> 0:49:[privacy contact redaction] of the market is going automatically follow suit,
944
0:49:20 --> 0:49:24
and I already got the right to take the whole production.
945
0:49:25 --> 0:49:27
Yep, very good.
946
0:49:27 --> 0:49:28
Good, excellent thinking.
947
0:49:28 --> 0:49:29
We'll talk about it.
948
0:49:29 --> 0:49:[privacy contact redaction]ion.
949
0:49:31 --> 0:49:33
All right, that's the only thing I got.
950
0:49:33 --> 0:49:[privacy contact redaction] need to do that.
951
0:49:34 --> 0:49:34
Excellent.
952
0:49:42 --> 0:49:45
I'm delighted there are no questions.
953
0:49:45 --> 0:49:47
Hello, Keith, I'm delighted you know questions,
954
0:49:47 --> 0:49:[privacy contact redaction]ory.
955
0:49:50 --> 0:49:[privacy contact redaction]ion.
956
0:49:51 --> 0:49:[privacy contact redaction]ion.
957
0:49:52 --> 0:49:[privacy contact redaction]ions.
958
0:49:53 --> 0:49:55
Yeah, so here in the US,
959
0:49:55 --> 0:49:59
is machine, do you have a prototype of that machine
960
0:49:59 --> 0:50:01
here in the US at all?
961
0:50:01 --> 0:50:03
Yes.
962
0:50:03 --> 0:50:03
And where is it located?
963
0:50:03 --> 0:50:07
Not a prototype, an actual machine, two machines.
964
0:50:07 --> 0:50:08
Yeah, and where is it located?
965
0:50:08 --> 0:50:[privacy contact redaction]ate?
966
0:50:09 --> 0:50:11
Pennsylvania.
967
0:50:11 --> 0:50:12
Pennsylvania.
968
0:50:12 --> 0:50:[privacy contact redaction]ually see that.
969
0:50:17 --> 0:50:21
Yes, subject to certain methods.
970
0:50:21 --> 0:50:23
Yeah, okay.
971
0:50:23 --> 0:50:[privacy contact redaction] going and have a look,
972
0:50:28 --> 0:50:33
it becomes very time consuming
973
0:50:34 --> 0:50:[privacy contact redaction]e who bought the machine
974
0:50:36 --> 0:50:[privacy contact redaction] a look,
975
0:50:37 --> 0:50:39
oh, that's very interesting.
976
0:50:39 --> 0:50:[privacy contact redaction] a machine
977
0:50:43 --> 0:50:[privacy contact redaction]rate
978
0:50:45 --> 0:50:49
to all the farmers exposed,
979
0:50:49 --> 0:50:51
the farmers, what do they call them?
980
0:50:53 --> 0:50:[privacy contact redaction]ralia, we have these big field days for farmers.
981
0:50:56 --> 0:51:[privacy contact redaction] a machine in America
982
0:51:00 --> 0:51:03
that goes around to all of the farmers conferences.
983
0:51:04 --> 0:51:[privacy contact redaction] of doing it.
984
0:51:06 --> 0:51:07
Yep.
985
0:51:07 --> 0:51:09
You call it farmer's fairs here in the US.
986
0:51:09 --> 0:51:09
That's our plan.
987
0:51:09 --> 0:51:12
Keith, that's what we're planning to do.
988
0:51:12 --> 0:51:17
And it's only because of the madness of COVID
989
0:51:17 --> 0:51:22
and the unwarranted government lockdowns,
990
0:51:22 --> 0:51:[privacy contact redaction]ans,
991
0:51:25 --> 0:51:28
but it requires a fair bit of money to make a machine,
992
0:51:28 --> 0:51:[privacy contact redaction]n around America.
993
0:51:31 --> 0:51:[privacy contact redaction]n around America
994
0:51:34 --> 0:51:37
at all of these expos, but that's the game plan.
995
0:51:39 --> 0:51:41
Okay, so a couple of other questions.
996
0:51:41 --> 0:51:45
What other machinery is competitive to this?
997
0:51:45 --> 0:51:48
What other machine, if someone says,
998
0:51:48 --> 0:51:53
well, I'm using this or I'm using that.
999
0:51:53 --> 0:51:[privacy contact redaction]
1000
0:51:56 --> 0:51:[privacy contact redaction]ion
1001
0:51:57 --> 0:51:59
that we're gonna run up against?
1002
0:52:00 --> 0:52:01
It doesn't matter, Keith.
1003
0:52:01 --> 0:52:02
It does not matter.
1004
0:52:02 --> 0:52:03
I'll tell you why.
1005
0:52:03 --> 0:52:05
Number one, I'm satisfied that our machine
1006
0:52:05 --> 0:52:[privacy contact redaction]ment.
1007
0:52:07 --> 0:52:09
That's the only test that matters.
1008
0:52:10 --> 0:52:13
Number two, return on investment is the test.
1009
0:52:14 --> 0:52:16
Number two, I said before,
1010
0:52:16 --> 0:52:20
there are half a million acres of hemp growing globally.
1011
0:52:20 --> 0:52:24
One of our machines will decorticate
1012
0:52:24 --> 0:52:28
two and a half thousand acres over the course of a year.
1013
0:52:28 --> 0:52:[privacy contact redaction]alk per hour.
1014
0:52:32 --> 0:52:33
Now that's a lot of volume.
1015
0:52:34 --> 0:52:36
This is a moveable machine.
1016
0:52:36 --> 0:52:39
It takes half a day to move from one site to another.
1017
0:52:40 --> 0:52:42
And you can buy a European machine
1018
0:52:42 --> 0:52:[privacy contact redaction]s 10 million euro, 15 million US dollars,
1019
0:52:46 --> 0:52:[privacy contact redaction]s less than half a million dollars.
1020
0:52:49 --> 0:52:52
And they will do 10 tonnes an hour, but it's fixed.
1021
0:52:52 --> 0:52:[privacy contact redaction]alk to that machine.
1022
0:52:56 --> 0:53:00
Now, I'm not concerned.
1023
0:53:01 --> 0:53:03
I don't know of any machine that's better than ours
1024
0:53:03 --> 0:53:[privacy contact redaction]ment,
1025
0:53:05 --> 0:53:[privacy contact redaction] no need for our machine
1026
0:53:08 --> 0:53:10
to be the only machine in the market because...
1027
0:53:13 --> 0:53:15
I've seen it was a boy, I might get out.
1028
0:53:16 --> 0:53:18
Because the...
1029
0:53:21 --> 0:53:24
Our machine will only do two and a half thousand acres
1030
0:53:24 --> 0:53:[privacy contact redaction]rage.
1031
0:53:26 --> 0:53:[privacy contact redaction]ralia
1032
0:53:29 --> 0:53:[privacy contact redaction]ares,
1033
0:53:32 --> 0:53:[privacy contact redaction]ralia.
1034
0:53:35 --> 0:53:38
America will be 10 million acres.
1035
0:53:38 --> 0:53:41
That will need thousands of machines.
1036
0:53:41 --> 0:53:43
Doesn't matter, I'm not worried about that.
1037
0:53:43 --> 0:53:46
Because you can never produce too much hemp.
1038
0:53:46 --> 0:53:47
That's the point.
1039
0:53:47 --> 0:53:49
Hemp solves so many...
1040
0:53:49 --> 0:53:51
You don't have to convince me.
1041
0:53:52 --> 0:53:53
Also, my question is,
1042
0:53:53 --> 0:53:[privacy contact redaction] found
1043
0:53:59 --> 0:54:02
that you run across in terms of
1044
0:54:02 --> 0:54:04
having someone purchase this machine?
1045
0:54:04 --> 0:54:06
What are the key one or two or three barriers?
1046
0:54:07 --> 0:54:09
Sorry, Keith, you got...
1047
0:54:09 --> 0:54:10
There's a bit of background noise.
1048
0:54:10 --> 0:54:11
Say that again.
1049
0:54:11 --> 0:54:15
I was asking, what are the one or two barriers
1050
0:54:15 --> 0:54:[privacy contact redaction] found in selling and marketing this machine?
1051
0:54:20 --> 0:54:[privacy contact redaction]s.
1052
0:54:22 --> 0:54:23
That's all.
1053
0:54:25 --> 0:54:[privacy contact redaction]s.
1054
0:54:27 --> 0:54:31
The fibre, herd, seed, dust.
1055
0:54:31 --> 0:54:34
Those are your barriers, is that what you're saying?
1056
0:54:34 --> 0:54:34
Yep.
1057
0:54:34 --> 0:54:[privacy contact redaction]e say,
1058
0:54:36 --> 0:54:38
I wanna see the machine operational.
1059
0:54:38 --> 0:54:39
Okay?
1060
0:54:39 --> 0:54:[privacy contact redaction] buyers go, I wanna kick the tyres,
1061
0:54:41 --> 0:54:42
I wanna do this, I wanna do that.
1062
0:54:42 --> 0:54:44
That's the second barrier.
1063
0:54:44 --> 0:54:[privacy contact redaction] barrier, and quite frankly,
1064
0:54:48 --> 0:54:52
we are more profitable if we hire the machines out to farmers
1065
0:54:52 --> 0:54:54
than sell the machine.
1066
0:54:54 --> 0:54:55
Okay?
1067
0:54:55 --> 0:54:57
That's a better financial outcome.
1068
0:54:57 --> 0:54:58
Right.
1069
0:54:58 --> 0:55:01
It is a business model.
1070
0:55:01 --> 0:55:02
Yeah.
1071
0:55:02 --> 0:55:03
We do both.
1072
0:55:03 --> 0:55:06
We sell the machine and we hire it out.
1073
0:55:06 --> 0:55:07
Yeah.
1074
0:55:07 --> 0:55:10
Now, farmers, why are farmers not growing hip?
1075
0:55:10 --> 0:55:12
The answer is because they're not...
1076
0:55:12 --> 0:55:[privacy contact redaction]y chains are more difficult.
1077
0:55:14 --> 0:55:15
But of course,
1078
0:55:16 --> 0:55:18
but of course, the...
1079
0:55:20 --> 0:55:22
Of course, the profitability,
1080
0:55:22 --> 0:55:27
of course, the profitability of anything follows the risk.
1081
0:55:28 --> 0:55:[privacy contact redaction]ex.
1082
0:55:31 --> 0:55:32
So that's a big barrier, Keith.
1083
0:55:32 --> 0:55:35
But those barriers,
1084
0:55:35 --> 0:55:39
because politicians keep putting barriers in the way.
1085
0:55:39 --> 0:55:[privacy contact redaction]e, if you're producing medicinal cannabis,
1086
0:55:41 --> 0:55:43
you'd have to destroy the stalk
1087
0:55:43 --> 0:55:45
after you've made your crop,
1088
0:55:45 --> 0:55:48
after you've produced your crop.
1089
0:55:48 --> 0:55:52
So, but the biggest solution to driving the demand...
1090
0:55:52 --> 0:55:[privacy contact redaction]ion.
1091
0:55:54 --> 0:55:56
Hang on, is to educate the market.
1092
0:55:56 --> 0:55:57
And I've got two more minutes
1093
0:55:57 --> 0:56:00
because I'm finishing at 7.30.
1094
0:56:00 --> 0:56:01
All right, Keith?
1095
0:56:01 --> 0:56:02
So that's the other barriers.
1096
0:56:02 --> 0:56:[privacy contact redaction]y chain issues.
1097
0:56:06 --> 0:56:[privacy contact redaction]ly, I want to see the machine in action.
1098
0:56:08 --> 0:56:09
Yes, next question.
1099
0:56:09 --> 0:56:10
What's your name?
1100
0:56:10 --> 0:56:12
All right, real quick.
1101
0:56:12 --> 0:56:16
So I know that the model that Keith and them used
1102
0:56:16 --> 0:56:[privacy contact redaction] them an opportunity
1103
0:56:20 --> 0:56:[privacy contact redaction]ants grown.
1104
0:56:23 --> 0:56:27
What I'm saying is, is it an opportunity for us
1105
0:56:27 --> 0:56:31
to create one walkthrough where we can collectively go
1106
0:56:31 --> 0:56:34
and see these machines in operation?
1107
0:56:34 --> 0:56:36
So we can go back and do our thing.
1108
0:56:36 --> 0:56:39
Yes, because Craig knows who...
1109
0:56:39 --> 0:56:42
Craig knows the operator of this machine in Pennsylvania.
1110
0:56:42 --> 0:56:[privacy contact redaction] a conversation with Jerry in Pennsylvania.
1111
0:56:47 --> 0:56:48
All right.
1112
0:56:48 --> 0:56:50
You can keep it on what we're talking about
1113
0:56:50 --> 0:56:52
because I know we all want to see it.
1114
0:56:53 --> 0:56:[privacy contact redaction]ion, my last question is,
1115
0:56:56 --> 0:56:59
your company that's in the US,
1116
0:56:59 --> 0:57:[privacy contact redaction] an exclusive on the US?
1117
0:57:03 --> 0:57:03
No.
1118
0:57:05 --> 0:57:07
No one will get an exclusive.
1119
0:57:07 --> 0:57:08
Okay.
1120
0:57:10 --> 0:57:13
Keith and I, I already spoke with Jerry
1121
0:57:13 --> 0:57:15
about you guys coming to see the machine in operation.
1122
0:57:18 --> 0:57:19
Okay.
1123
0:57:19 --> 0:57:24
I'm very, I'm not happy about people using the machine
1124
0:57:24 --> 0:57:26
to suit themselves, have a look at it,
1125
0:57:26 --> 0:57:28
and they've got no resources to do what they say
1126
0:57:28 --> 0:57:29
they think they can do.
1127
0:57:29 --> 0:57:32
I don't want to waste anybody's time.
1128
0:57:32 --> 0:57:33
I know, that's not us though.
1129
0:57:34 --> 0:57:36
So that's why, so Craig and...
1130
0:57:36 --> 0:57:38
That's not what this group is about.
1131
0:57:38 --> 0:57:41
It's up to Jerry and the whole team in Pennsylvania.
1132
0:57:41 --> 0:57:43
So that's all.
1133
0:57:43 --> 0:57:45
So if they're happy, I'm delighted.
1134
0:57:45 --> 0:57:46
Okay.
1135
0:57:48 --> 0:57:49
All right.
1136
0:57:49 --> 0:57:51
It's 7.30.
1137
0:57:51 --> 0:57:53
Thank you everybody.
1138
0:57:53 --> 0:57:[privacy contact redaction]ease, I will send this recording.
1139
0:57:55 --> 0:57:58
So I do urge you now, I have found
1140
0:57:59 --> 0:58:[privacy contact redaction]arted educating me
1141
0:58:02 --> 0:58:04
about the decodecator and him,
1142
0:58:04 --> 0:58:[privacy contact redaction]ions
1143
0:58:07 --> 0:58:10
that he had previously told me.
1144
0:58:10 --> 0:58:[privacy contact redaction]ion and I didn't know.
1145
0:58:13 --> 0:58:17
It took three, four, five times to deeply understand
1146
0:58:17 --> 0:58:19
what he was telling me.
1147
0:58:19 --> 0:58:23
And there's benefit in re-watching the recording
1148
0:58:23 --> 0:58:25
for anybody who watches it
1149
0:58:25 --> 0:58:[privacy contact redaction]and the issue.
1150
0:58:27 --> 0:58:28
So thank you everybody.
1151
0:58:28 --> 0:58:29
Wonderful to be with you, Craig.
1152
0:58:29 --> 0:58:31
Well done for organizing.
1153
0:58:31 --> 0:58:[privacy contact redaction]ions.
1154
0:58:32 --> 0:58:[privacy contact redaction]ions help me
1155
0:58:35 --> 0:58:37
to keep developing my thinking
1156
0:58:37 --> 0:58:[privacy contact redaction]
1157
0:58:40 --> 0:58:[privacy contact redaction] to sharing this journey
1158
0:58:42 --> 0:58:47
because I promise you that I am absolutely convinced
1159
0:58:47 --> 0:58:50
it's not possible to grow too much hemp.
1160
0:58:50 --> 0:58:53
I'm absolutely certain of that.
1161
0:58:53 --> 0:58:56
And hemp can solve so many global problems.
1162
0:58:56 --> 0:58:57
It's very exciting for me,
1163
0:58:57 --> 0:59:02
provided that we get government out of the way.
1164
0:59:02 --> 0:59:03
Thank you everybody for being here.
1165
0:59:03 --> 0:59:[privacy contact redaction]ing.
1166
0:59:06 --> 0:59:07
All right, I look forward to getting this.
1167
0:59:07 --> 0:59:08
Thank you.
