Ever wonder what’s actually in the fertilizer farmers use before planting?
What might look like colorful little nerds is actually a carefully balanced mix of nutrients designed to give crops the best shot at success. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, zinc — all working together to support healthy growth from day one.
And here’s the part most people don’t realize: farmers are making massive investments in inputs like this long before they know what the weather will do or what crop prices will be at harvest.
Every season starts with a gamble, a whole lot of grit, and hope that the crop gets the conditions it needs to thrive. Agriculture is equal parts science, risk, and resilience.
This is what pre-plant season looks like in Montana as we get ready to put industrial hemp in the ground.

Farmers deserve better margins, healthier soil, and more crop options. That’s why we built IND HEMP. 🌱
More high-quality hemp ingredients in your pantry = more support for American farmers. #IndustrialHemp #SupportFarmers #SoilHealth #AmericanAgriculture
It’s that time of year… 🌱
And guess what? We’re using the same equipment everyone else does.
Despite what a lot of people think, h💚mp gets planted just like the other row crops around here. Same farmers. Same fields. Same long days during planting season.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms at IND HEMP and all the incredible moms out there.
The care, strength, patience, and heart you pour into your families, your work, and the people around you never go unnoticed. Wishing you a day that feels as appreciated as you truly are 💚
Everyone romanticizes farming until they realize the paycheck comes once a year… if Mother Nature cooperates.
People ask all the time why fewer young people are getting into agriculture. Honestly? Here’s 3 reasons you probably don’t want to be a farmer:
1️⃣ Almost everything is unpredictable and out of your control.
Input costs, commodity prices, weather, breakdowns, markets… one bad storm or one market swing can change everything overnight.
2️⃣ There are no real days off.
Animals still need fed. Crops still need planted. Equipment still breaks. Farming doesn’t care if it’s weekends, holidays, birthdays, or if you’re exhausted.
3️⃣ Your wealth usually isn’t sitting safely in a bank account.
It’s tied up in land, equipment, trucks, inputs, infrastructure, and assets that cost a fortune to maintain while depreciating every year.
And yet… farmers keep showing up. Every season. Every year. Betting on the next crop and feeding the rest of us in the process.
As we kick off planting season for industrial hemp here in Montana, I’m bringing you behind the scenes of what it really takes to grow a crop and build American agriculture. 🚜🇺🇸

We love worms. 🪱
Because when you see them, you’re looking at living proof your soil is doing its job. Worms are one of the clearest indicators of healthy soil—breaking down organic matter, improving structure, and helping nutrients actually get where they need to go.
And soil health? That’s the foundation of everything. No shortcuts there. Healthy soil → resilient crops → better outcomes all the way through the supply chain.
That’s why we stand side by side with our farmers. We’re not just interested in the harvest—we’re invested in the season, the soil, and the long game. When the ground is thriving, everyone wins.
#MontanAg #SoilHealth #RegenerativeAg #HealthySoil #IndustrialHemp
Most soil tests tell you what’s in the soil. This is about what’s actually working in it, and why that matters before the season really gets going.
Jenna, our crop specialist, was out in Kalispell pulling samples that looked good right away. Worms, structure, everything you’d hope to see. That’s your macro life doing its thing.
But the real story is smaller than that.
When you zoom in, PLFA, microbial activity, the biology you can’t see, that’s where things get interesting. Because with hemp fiber, those microbes aren’t just part of the system, they’re part of the process.
Understanding that layer early gives you a read on how the season can play out. How the crop grows, and how it breaks down later during retting.
That breakdown is what helps separate fiber from hurd, making mechanical processing cleaner, more efficient, and more consistent once it’s baled.
So yeah, worms are a good sign. But the real question is what are we paying attention to, and what are we choosing to understand before we ever get to harvest?
Healthy soil doesn’t just grow it. It helps finish it. #soilsampling #healthysoil #hempfiber #industrialhemp #agronomy
You won’t see IND HEMP on shelves… and that’s by design.
We build the products. You see the brands.
From our fields to their paws. 🌾🐾
We’re not just growing hemp—we’re creating better, more natural products for the animals that mean everything to us.
Welcome to All Walks.
Follow along for what’s next!

I’ll say it: I want my tax dollars going to American workers 🇺🇸
Most people don’t realize how much taxpayer money is going overseas—simply because our sourcing rules aren’t consistent.
The Berry Amendment requires the Department of Defense to source certain products domestically—but even there, gaps exist. And outside of DoD? The standards don’t always apply the same way.
That’s real opportunity.
Opportunity to support American manufacturing
Opportunity to strengthen supply chains
Opportunity to put money back into U.S. jobs
Spent last week in D.C. with the National Council of Textile Organizations, and one thing is clear—this isn’t just about textiles.
It’s about where we choose to invest as a country.
What do you think—should more of our taxpayer dollars stay here at home?

You’re probably not going to see IND HEMP on store shelves—and that’s intentional.
We’re the engine behind the products—working with American farmers and turning industrial hemp into materials that actually perform.
What you will see is Hemptana.
Built for farmers, ranchers, athletes, homesteaders, and anyone who takes pride in caring for their animals—think ultra-absorbent bedding, nesting mats, and equine supplements made for real life.

Soil health is one of the most overlooked levers in agriculture.
Deep-rooted crops like hemp help break up compaction, improve water infiltration, reduce runoff, and support carbon storage—up to 10 tons per acre.
As we head into planting season, this is where it starts.
In the soil.
