  SPEAKER_04: I'm here.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah now.

  SPEAKER_02: I'm so excited to have you here.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_04: Me too.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_02: So 45 years.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, drop some wisdom on us, Schaefer.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_02: As coming to that halfway point, and I feel you would you say that you're like really hitting your stride in your career or two?
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I would say I probably hit my stride, you know, in when I was maybe 40, you know, other, you know, especially being self-employed and doing everything yourself and being a male, you know, or a little bit immature, and uh we like to play a lot.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_04: But yeah, I think 40, and when you have kids and you realize what kind of responsibilities and what kind of role model you want to be, and and the things you want in life, you know, all the all the tangible assets, and yeah, you gotta get out there and get after it if you want things.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_04: So, yeah, work hard, play hard.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_02: And you do just that.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_02: Boy, you boys and your toys and all your adventures that you go on.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I mean, it's it's you gotta, you know, to have some fun in life and take uh get out there and play.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I've never met a more hard-working man.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like you just you spring out of bed like a spring chicken, put on your work pants and your work boots, and you're gone before I'm just like opening up my papers.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_04: Well, just remember I put my pants on one leg at a time too.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_02: That is for sure.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_02: I just I mean, what is that what drives you, what motivates you to just spring out of bed like you do?
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_04: Uh just to have a sense of purpose, I guess, and to you know, you could kind of sign up for these commitments and these contracts, and people put their trust in you and to see the job through, and and you know, I put a lot of weight on my shoulders and I take that uh very seriously.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_04: So, you know, what people put trust in you, so you gotta follow through.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: I love it you just put so you are uh always a true Scorpio of you know being brave and bold and resourceful.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like you are exactly where you need to be.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_02: Do you feel that?
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: Do you feel like doing what you're doing?
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, I do.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_04: I do, and I feel like I can be demanding, you know, from my guys sometimes and from my family sometimes, but I also give a lot and you know, and cut through the BS a lot, but still have a lot of fun.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_04: And you're a Leo, so you know it's kind of yin yang, you know.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_04: So you uh you bring out the best of me and you bring out the best of me too, honey.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_02: Do you know that uh Scorpio is a water sign and I am a fire sign?
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: So it really is the true yin yang.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that I don't know as you you know all about that stuff.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: So I just feel like it really makes sense.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_02: And they say that Scorpios and Leo's are really compatible because we both are very passionate about what we do, and we're both very loyal, fiercely loyal, sometimes almost to a fault, and we get shit done.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_04: And uh probably a little bit bullheaded too, because the you know that we do have our own points of view on things, and you can kind of butt heads a little bit once in a while.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_04: So the yin and the yang kind of do butt heads.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, your scorpio sting.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_02: And my roar.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_02: Would you agree that I have the roar?
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you do.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_04: I don't I didn't know, you know, the sting comes from like back here, right?
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I'm strict.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_02: Coming out of nowhere with that sting, and it hurts sometimes, but I feel like nothing, and that's what marriage is all about is being able to communicate.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: It's taken us a bit to get that down.
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_04: Thanks for the birthday wishes, everybody.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_04: I see some messages on Ashley's phone here.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_04: So appreciate it.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_04: Thank you.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_04: Hope you guys are having a good day.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_02: Thanks for taking some time out of the day to participate with you.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just so excited to have you on here because you're so much of a an essential part of DNA hemp.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm always singing your praises on social media, on the podcast, just about everywhere, of like the mastermind and the driving force behind the company.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_02: And then, but yet you're you're so on the back end of things where not the face of it.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_02: So to get you to sit in this chair is just it's an honor for me.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_02: And I just, even though you're my husband, and of course, I feel like I hope you don't feel like totally obligated, but how I mean, sometimes I feel like I have to pinch myself being here, like this is what we're doing.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_02: We're growing hemp and we're offering it to our community, just being really vulnerable.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: Like, did you think this is what you'd be doing before that farm bill came to be?
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_02: Do you want to share?
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I always wanted to grow marijuana legally, and I felt like this was our avenue and our path to do that.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_04: I thought it would be here by now.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_04: But it was a really cool learning experience to grow hemp, which is growing the exact same way as marijuana.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_04: Just a little different genetics, which all of you are aware.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_02: I might now be.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_04: But yeah, you know, it's to learn the benefits of hemp and you know the great things that that it does for people.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_04: You know, very proud to grow it.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_04: And it's I always love learning new things, and I've learned a bazillion new things, you know, how to farm, you know, on scale, and irrigation, fertigation, genetics, and just working with people in the industry, get to meet a lot of great people, and you know, doing something cool with my wife, which is challenging too, because try to start a business with your uh with your better half.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_04: And you know, there's a lot of uh you don't know what you're doing, and you know, a lot of stuff that you can argue about, but to get through it and it just makes it rewarding.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_04: And you're the face of DNA and you crushed it, you grew a brand, and you know, but grassroots and it's amazing what you've done.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_04: I just I'm not uh I don't need I don't I don't like the attention, so you this is where you shine and you can you're better at talking with people and everything than I am, so I give you a lot of credit for that.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_02: Well I'd give yourself some more credit.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_02: I just I love your rapport with people, and I feel like when people meet you, they can get that sense of authenticity and realness and honest work ethic that you have.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_02: And I feel like people are really inspired by you just being you, Danny.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_02: Bye bye.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_04: That's all I know how to be.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_02: That's awesome.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_02: I went into the fields.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_02: We're still kind of in the never-ending harvest.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_02: I picked out some buds, and then I thought it was kind of like us, and then I was like trying to entwangle them into like a DNA helix.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_02: Do you want to tell them how a DNA hemp got the name?
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_04: Danny and Ashley.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_04: It was actually a nickname that my sister's friend Ryan gave to us when we were first dating.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_04: He called this DNA.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_04: So that's where DNA hemp came from.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_04: And we kind of modified it into Danny, Navea, Nixon, and Ashley.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_04: So include those two.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_04: DN squared A.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_04: So, but yeah, Danny and Ashley.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_04: Simple as it gets.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_02: From Sweet Ryan.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_04: Yep.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_02: And it was on our koozies at our wedding.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_04: Yep, yep.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_04: We dropped the bomb uh 8, 10, 12.
• 12:35
  unknown: Yep.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what it was.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_02: It was like a black koozie with a pink bomb.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_02: I think we still have them somewhere around the house for sure.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_02: And it said DNA Day on it.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, sure did.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_04: One of my guys, uh, when I used to own Motor 3, did that design for us.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: That's amazing.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_02: And the fact that, like, we you can't make this stuff up, huh, honey?
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, just can't.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, just can't.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_02: And the fact that the DNA, like, endocannabinoid system, it's in you, and that's what the hemp is playing to.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I think a lot of people that don't realize that it's actually our names and that we're Danny and Ashley and Devia Nixon, which we didn't do on purpose either.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_02: Right?
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_02: It's not like we needed a names.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_04: Uh no, not at all.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_04: No, we didn't do anything on purpose, really.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_02: So that's why this is just written in the stars, honey.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: And that's why what a gift to have the super full beaver moon on your birthday, the full moon, howling it at it with me last night.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: The kids putting out the moon water.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_02: The owner, okay, so you dropped a little nugget there, and I'm just gonna go pick that up a little bit.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_02: The owner of Mota 3, the founder.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's a big deal.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_02: Like, for your beginnings of your entrepreneurship, just to show that like go get her spirit.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I mean, it goes with, you know, kind of taking risks.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I was asked to be a part of it and invest in it, and you know, did what I could to scrounge up money and and you know, we kind of went with it.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_04: And yeah, it's you gotta take risks, you know, no risk, no reward.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_04: And you know, you can't be afraid to take risks either.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_04: Granted, you know, and you're not always gonna succeed, but you can't be afraid of failure.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_04: So yeah, you know, I've always had kind of just the just try it, attitude, you know, and if we'll figure it out, try it.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_04: And if we maybe we don't have a plan, but we'll figure it out when we need to figure something out, you know.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_02: So my gosh, it just about drove me nuts when we started the DNA hem.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_02: I remember I wanted all the answers.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, well, what about this?
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_02: When this happens, what are we gonna do?
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: And like, remember I drew the map of like the field, and I had like all the strings labeled, and you're like, like, I was up till all hours making it.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_02: And you made me feel special.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_02: You were like, that's really nice, honey.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, that was that was awesome.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_04: I I like that uh map that you had, but I wasn't sure that we were able to be able to follow it.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_04: You know, we tried.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_04: But you know, it's kind of just get out there, get after it, you know, type thing because that's how we did it.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_04: And both equipment that we didn't know how to operate, but we figured it out.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_04: And you know, we had a pretty smart guy on our team, Dave Wagner, our uncle.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_04: And uh he's very smart, and he came up with some contraptions that helped us do certain things.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_04: And yeah, it was fun.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_04: When we first started it, it was just uh absolute fun.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of hard work, but it was really, really fun.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_02: So yes, and I'm sorry if I impeded that in any way by having to have all the answers and not really understanding the vision.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_02: But I feel like that's another one of your greatest qualities is the your getter-done resourcefulness that you have.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: Like it just doesn't, you're so good at using what we already have and making it work.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_02: And that your your attitude is just I'm still in awe and wonder of what drives you and motivates you, and like you're just it can do.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_02: Like, there's no excuses, no bullshit.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_02: Like you're getting it done one way or the other, and in double time.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_04: Well, my main motivation is my family.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_04: So get it done, modify.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_04: You know, you can't you gotta shift gears once in a while and come back to things if you can't figure them out right away.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, just get a not everything has to be done right now, right then.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_04: Right then, right now.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_04: Just take a minute to think about it and go do something else for a minute, and a great idea will come back to you.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_04: So I don't know.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe sometimes it doesn't either.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe you gotta start over.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know, but just do work hard.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_02: Speaking of uh work hard, play hard, and connecting to Moda 3, one of my favorite memories at Moda, and it was like when we were first started dating, and you had the big snow rail jam there.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was cool.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_02: That was amazing.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 17:18

• 17:50
  SPEAKER_04: Guys riding snowboards in the middle of the city.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_04: And it grew, you know, we did it for three, four years, and and then 08 came around when the bottom fell out of the economy, and none of the sponsors wanted to kick in any money anymore.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_04: And so we kind of had to put a kibosh on that because it just cost too much without sponsors.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_04: So but it was fun, it was really cool.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, to get those snowboarding pros.
• 18:14

  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I tried all that, and I just, you know, I get you get these uh these companies that want to build your website and do this back SEO work, and you know, it just didn't work out.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_04: They're not doing their job, and you know that you know, partially do with me not giving them, you know, stuff to put on there, but I mean yeah, you know, and there's a thing of you know, it's about just being small and being lean and you know, it's just trying to keep your margins up.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_04: But you know, it's a lot of people that have these big companies, they don't it's not always the best, you know.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_04: It's just something to be said about just being small and and you know, less headaches.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_04: So yeah, I enjoy it.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_04: I don't want to grow to be a big business.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_04: I like my small business.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_04: I love all my clients, all my clients become my good friends.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_04: And I feel like I choose my clients.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of times they don't choose me.
• 34:35
  SPEAKER_04: I can see a bad client from a mile away, and uh a lot of times I just won't even bid the job.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_04: So yeah.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_04: So thank you to all of my clients, my past, present, and future.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_04: I love you guys.
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_02: Can you tell us some good things, like some things that make a good client?
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_02: Like when you say that, I'm like, would I be a bad client?
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_02: Like, what makes a good client?
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_04: Um, just positive attitude, right?
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_04: And obviously I hate to say it, but clients that aren't afraid to spend money.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_04: Right?
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_02: Like, yeah, you don't want to be like, if you're doing a project, like do it.
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, you this is what it's gonna take, right?
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_04: And if people want to start, you know, holding tight to a budget, which is fine.
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_04: Here's the budget, I'll set the budget, but we're gonna set the budget high.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_04: But if people want to start scaling down on budgets and cut costs and this and that, that just it it doesn't bring a very, you know, it doesn't bring harmony to the project a lot of times, you know, because they're stressed out, they're making me stressed out.
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_04: And it's just, you know, it's just but you know, it happens and we deal with it, we get over it, and we'll stick to a budget.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_04: And we if hey, if we're over on one thing, we'll you know, try to skim down a little bit on another thing, and it happens, but you know, that's why you gotta have realistic budgets and kind of have a little bit higher budget and then come in a little bit lower.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_04: And clients love that, and you know, under uh what do they say?
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_04: Under promise and over what is it?
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_02: Over underpromise and overdeliver.
• 36:28
  SPEAKER_04: Yes, yes.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_04: I think that I'm good at doing that.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, you are.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_02: I think also too it's just really good.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_02: Your experience just speaks for itself because you've been there, done that, worked with it, seen it, and you're the way you've envisioned things is just different.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_02: Like me, like I don't see things like you do.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_02: The scope of the project, I think you would call it, right, babe?
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you've got to see the end product before you can see the end product, you know.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_04: I hats up to my contractors, man.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_04: All those guys are they crush it for me.

  SPEAKER_02: But you you know, you gotta have the vision and that strong that strong will because you to see it through.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, you just gotta do it.
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_04: Like I said, you don't give clients and give you a chunks of money, they're putting their trust in you.
• 37:29
  SPEAKER_04: So you gotta deliver.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I love your demeanor about it.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_02: Like if you were if you were a handy Dan working on the job while at our house like you do, I just learned to like relax and trust the process.

  SPEAKER_01: That's a special gift, Danny.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_03: It's just I I don't is it a gift?
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_02: I don't I think so.
• 38:27
  SPEAKER_02: Give me some more praise, baby.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_02: Well, thank you.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_02: And I feel like that's how you've been here on the farm with and every I was just always amazed because every year is a different grow.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_02: Like we've done so many different techniques and styles of grow from I mean, you've grown ten acres of hemp, right?
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_02: Where it's just like hemp for for miles, it seems.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_02: Well, maybe is ten acres a mile.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_03: I mean ten acres.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_02: I mean I was trying to visualize down the field that you planted.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, I mean you know all the rows, if you did all the rows back and forth, is way more than a mile.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_04: I think we laid.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_04: I forget what the whole total was, but I'd say we laid maybe somewhere around like nine miles of drip irrigation and plastic multiple years at one year.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_04: Oh just going back and forth throughout the field every five feet, and yeah, you know hard work and I don't and but you know that also comes with uh blowing a lot of money too.
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, we've I we spent a lot of money and a lot of didn't recoup, you know, a lot of that either.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_04: So I mean I mean you know, throughout the years, yeah, you you you recouped it in your sales, but right off the bat, I mean we spent a lot of money.
• 39:59
  SPEAKER_02: And we still are, I feel like.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_02: Do you want to talk about what you tried this year and like kind of give us some insight as to the next growth season?
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_02: Uh because I don't even I'd love to hear it.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you want to you want to know my plan, like you said before, right?
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so this this year I brought I bought a precision planter, which is a computerized system, which are all GPS located, and uh you know it plops seeds down.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_04: We had to modify a corn planter, and they had uh this outfit do it out of Wassau.
• 40:37
  SPEAKER_04: They came, taught me how to run the equipment.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_04: Cool, got all that in.
• 40:42
  SPEAKER_04: It was middle of July, end of July when we finally got in the ground.
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_04: A lot later than you're supposed to, but I said we're gonna plant anyway.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_04: I want to see what's gonna happen.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_04: And I don't know if there's a bad germination rate or if the seeds weren't dropping properly.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_04: I feel like it wasn't the greatest germination rate.
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_04: Obviously, because uh, you know, maybe what would you say, an eighth of the plants came up, maybe?
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_04: But, you know, in the same breath, I learned a bunch.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_04: We had our neighbor Pete, he threw about what did he say, like 80 tons of cow crap, uh organic matter for nitrogen and everything else in the field.
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_04: So without irrigation, without fertigation, the plants grew phenomenally that did germinate.
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_04: And like blown away at that, right?
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_04: I thought, oh man, you have again you gotta feed these things.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_04: Everything you're always told, like you need to feed these things, they needed a regimen.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_04: Well, right, it's an industry, and the industry's trying to, you know, feed upon each other.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_04: So, do you need to constantly be feeding these plants?
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_04: Or can you just get the proper nutrients in the soil right off the bat, let nature do its work, let let the rain come.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_04: And so that way I learned a tremendous this year of what how much extra effort we did in prior years that I'm not gonna do next year.
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_04: Next year, get in the ground sooner, plant more seeds because of the bad germination rate.
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_04: And if it's too crowded, we can always take some out, get down a cover crop to keep the weeds down.
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_04: Just let Mother Nature do its thing, I guess.
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_04: I just we'll see how it goes, you know.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I feel like harvesting is a whole nother beast, then I don't feel like we really got to delve in that this year, as far as like field drying it or curing it, but essentially all going in like big sacks, right?
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_02: And then shipped to the processor.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, our geneticist Trilogene has good contracts with processing facilities and kind of help favor the farmer a little bit.
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_04: And you know, we've been working with Matt for the last six years.
• 43:14
  SPEAKER_04: I really like him, really like his company.
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_04: And just kind of see where it goes, you know.
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_04: It's just keep trying.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_04: You know, I don't know.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_04: Next year, if if it all fails, maybe just grow enough plants to feed our DNA camp, you know.
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_04: And maybe I can get a new toy that I can use around the farm rather than a precision planter, you know.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_04: But we'll try it again next year and see how it goes.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_02: So what happens when it's legal, honey?
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_02: Like how about things change, if anything?
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, around here for planting?
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_02: Let's say it becomes legalized in the first of the year.
• 43:55
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that would be phenomenal.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_04: I would I would go not I would probably plant a several- How would you plant it?
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_04: Several different ways.
• 44:03
  SPEAKER_04: I would do drip irrigation with plastic mouse layer, and that's why I could fertigate through irrigation again, not on the scale we did.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_04: I would probably still do the precision planter and try that because you're not gonna be able to grow marijuana and hemp on the same property.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_01: So we'll just for cross-pollination, right?
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_01: Or do you think licensing?
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_01: Licensed shirt.
• 44:27
  SPEAKER_04: Licensing for sure.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_04: Cross-pollination.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I don't know about that, but uh I think licensing for sure.
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_04: Because they're just they're not gonna be able to tell what's what, right?
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_04: And the federal the government's gonna say, well, which one's marijuana, which one's uh we don't know.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_04: They look displayed.
• 44:47
  SPEAKER_04: But yeah, I just experiment quite a bit, do indoor, but I don't see that happening.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_04: And Wisconsin's just out there.
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_02: So for a man that's eternally optimistic, it will happen.
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_04: I think the federal government's gonna go legal before Wisconsin does.
• 45:07
  SPEAKER_04: Woof.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_04: I know.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_04: Trump Trump, he talks about making it legal.
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_04: You know, so time will tell.
• 45:17
  SPEAKER_02: Uh it just not our plan, right, babe?
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_04: Not our plan.
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_02: What do you think about so right now there has been a lot of meetings in the Capitol in Madison about the hemp industry currently as it sits, and they want to make it so with this THCA as the gray area, the loophole, right?
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_02: They want to close that loophole, like redefine hemp, which would like stop all business and industries that are being that that's essentially what's fueling you know, that job market, and close that loophole and make it a three-tier system with the producer, manufacturer, and distributor.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_02: What do you what are your thoughts on that, if anything?
• 46:04
  SPEAKER_04: Well, when one loophole gets closed, another one will open up.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_04: You know, people are shifty and they'll find different ways to get around things.
• 46:16
  SPEAKER_04: But I don't know, you know, it's one of those things, you know, it's just we didn't know enough about it in the beginning.
• 46:25
  SPEAKER_04: And you know, when it comes to politics and all that bill passing and all that stuff, it's just all these people can have their voices, but you know, there's just a few people, you know, that have their voices that are really heard, which is their senators and you know, or politicians, you know.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_04: So the only thing we can do is vote them out.
• 46:59
  SPEAKER_02: Get out and vote.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_02: Get out and vote.
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_02: Contact your local legislators.
• 47:05
  SPEAKER_02: It's kind of a yeah, crazy game to play, but you know, just having the stake in the hemp field, I do think it's very unreasonable that people can sell THCA products, but yeah, as farmers, it is illegal to grow it here in Wisconsin.
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like that is not okay.
• 47:22
  SPEAKER_04: So you can bring it in from out of state and sell it, but you can't grow it.
• 47:26
  SPEAKER_04: So okay.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_02: That's why I'm conflicted.
• 47:30
  SPEAKER_02: Like I like the loophole because I feel like people have easier access to their medicine.
• 47:36
  SPEAKER_02: You're not, you know, you don't have the dispensary fees, you're not paying those crazy taxes.
• 47:40
  SPEAKER_02: But yet we still need to be able to grow and come up with a reasonable medical marijuana legalization and rescheduling, decriminalization for here, yeah?
• 47:52
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, there.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_04: Everybody I know all the growers I know that grow are growing THCA.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_04: God bless their stole.
• 47:59
  SPEAKER_04: And both just, you know.
• 48:02
  SPEAKER_04: Just keep keeping our fingers crossed and just waiting for the opportunity.
• 48:07
  SPEAKER_04: And you know, who knows, you know, but it could happen first of the year.
• 48:14
  SPEAKER_04: You don't know, you know, where where the mines are at and what's being passed around, what's in the bills, and next thing you know, it's hey, Wisconsin's open for business.
• 48:26
  SPEAKER_03: Who knows?
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, who knows?
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_02: One day at a time, step by step, day by day.
• 48:30
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, well, they should hurry it up.
• 48:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, right.
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_02: Like, let's go.
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_02: That's like just here to meet like, let's go.
• 48:37
  SPEAKER_02: Chop, chop.
• 48:40
  SPEAKER_02: Rome wasn't felt in a day, but we're gonna start sure try.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I think it's been a good opportunity to like really appreciate hemp and all of the healing benefits of it and know that it's not from the high.
• 48:52
  SPEAKER_02: Can you believe I'm not I'm done?
• 48:54
  SPEAKER_02: I haven't got high in over a month.
• 48:57
  SPEAKER_02: Isn't that crazy, babe?
• 48:59
  SPEAKER_04: I'm proud of you.
• 49:01
  SPEAKER_04: Very proud of you.
• 49:02
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I'll give you a lot of credit.
• 49:04
  SPEAKER_04: I couldn't go that long.
• 49:10
  SPEAKER_02: Aw.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_02: That's why I just love like I feel like a lot of people ask like how we got started in DNA, and it was totally your your passion and love for the plant.
• 49:22
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
• 49:23
  SPEAKER_04: I remember that conversation.
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_04: I said, here, this is what we're gonna do.
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_04: Well, what if I'm what if I don't want to do it?
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_04: I was like, just sign your name here, and I'll just do everything.
• 49:34
  SPEAKER_04: And you're like, okay, I guess this is what we're doing.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you did.
• 49:41
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it was also very much like that.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_02: So a couple of our friends when we had first uh started dating, like were kind of the one of their significant other, their partner, was giving them the ultimatum.
• 49:54
  SPEAKER_02: And y'all know you've heard about the ultimatum of like it's either me or Mary J.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_04: And I'm like, Deuces, lady.
• 50:02
  SPEAKER_04: Deuces.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_04: Uh besides, I wouldn't be using that gave me ultimatums like that.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_04: You know what I mean?
• 50:09
  SPEAKER_04: So that being said, I did it wasn't wasn't doing any harm to smoke a little reaper, you know, just to relax a little bit.
• 50:21
  SPEAKER_04: But yeah.
• 50:23
  SPEAKER_04: Deuces!
• 50:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's like it was babe.
• 50:27
  SPEAKER_02: Like, let's just say I was one of those chicks.
• 50:29
  SPEAKER_02: Even though, you know, you know me, I'm cool as a cucumber, I would not be that lady.
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_02: But you let me know right away, like right in the beginning where we stood.
• 50:36
  SPEAKER_02: You're like, Mayam, Mary Jane is my mane.
• 50:40
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, okay.
• 50:42
  SPEAKER_02: You got a problem with that, you went the wrong man.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_02: I respect that.
• 50:46
  SPEAKER_02: I really do respect that because you could have been pussy whipped and been like, oh, well, babe, like, you know, and like just fed me some lip service, but we would have known.
• 50:54
  SPEAKER_02: We would have figured out where your heart was at.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_04: I am not pussy whip.
• 50:58
  SPEAKER_04: I'm a whip the pussy.
• 51:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you do.

  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know.
• 51:09
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 51:10
  SPEAKER_02: The kids might be watching one day.
• 51:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's all for the babies.

• 51:42
  SPEAKER_02: I know you would move mountains for those babies, for our babies.
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_02: And I feel like that is always a binder for us, like creating a family and like staying true to the covenant that we have together as parents.
• 51:57
  SPEAKER_02: And I know we don't always see eye to eye, but I feel like we're coming at it with level heads and we're rational human beings.
• 52:04
  SPEAKER_02: And I feel like the biggest thing of our relationship is just good communication and figuring out each other's love language.
• 52:12
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like I'm still trying to figure out you are a quality time love language man.
• 52:17
  SPEAKER_02: Would you say that that's it's not a yeah?
• 52:21
  SPEAKER_04: I love spending time with my family more than anything.
