ABOUT US
We are a family owned and operated farm in the mountains of North Carolina.
SMALL CANNABIS FARM
We are a small cannabis farm and have grown and harvested hemp.
We wanted to share our experience on how we maintained our crops of hemp. We did not have problems like many of our local hemp farmers with pest. We were told some farmers in our area, lost a large percentage of their crops due to insect devastation.
We used a product from PLP Natural Products LLC on our crops called PLP Liquid Formula, a natural insect repellent made from natural plant essential oils. This product is amazing and simply put we had no pest problems!
Our Hemp Crop
Use of PLP Liquid Formula on hemp crops
Above are some pictures of one of our field of Hemp fields that we tested PLP Liquid Formula. We had no Spider mite or any other pest problems since using this product. However, we did find one large grasshopper and one caterpillar. They weren’t eating anything; they were too busy trying to find a way out of our field! LOL! This was my test field and I was so pleased that I am planting my acreage next year.
Be careful what kind of sprays and chemicals you use on your Hemp fields. While testing of PLP Liquid Formula we found it does not affect your beneficial pollinators such as bees. This product has been tested in the orange groves in Florida and prove to be effective without harming bees that pollenate the oranges.
When we first developed this product 12 years ago, I have a wood home on the side of a mountain. I had a pet black snake that grew up and spent a few years at our home. I also had about 15 deer that came and ate at my house daily. After we developed the PLP Liquid Formula, the first application of PLP at our home, the snake left our home and never came back, and my deer also left. I still find a lot of deer tracks around our test hemp field, but I haven’t found any sign of them or any other critter eating my field.
I am very pleased with PLP Liquid Formula. If you are starting out, this product can solve a lot of problems you will run into. PLP Liquid Formula was tested at the University of New Mexico State University, Virginia Tech and the University of Florida. It outperformed other products and very good for controlling spider mites.
I have owned a pest control company in south Florida for over 30 years, so I am very familiar with chemicals and natural pesticides. My family are licensed technicians for many years and have a lot of experience with chemicals, plants, bugs and insects. I am originally from North Carolina and have a farm and horse ranch.
I think growing Hemp here will pick up, help so many small farmers that lost tobacco and put them back into production. After all, it is a weed, and we all should be able to grow weeds. If you desire any more information or we can help in any way, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your time.
May God bless you,
Powell Porter and family
