Despite the challenges and obstacles faced, he was able to maintain and build upon his property by utilizing it for multi-income streams, including farming and raising livestock.
This legacy was passed down through generations, with each family member contributing their own additions and hard work to the land.
The speaker, who has a degree in business and experience in social services, recognizes the potential for profit in doing what one loves and sees farming as a way to do this.
The company, Datus Henry Industries, produces all of their hemp-based products themselves, from seed to shelf. This includes a range of products such as tinctures, muscle freeze, salves, gummies, and even an essential line using CBD-infused olive oil, sugars, and syrups.

These products have been positively received by customers, who have even found creative uses for them beyond their intended use, such as using CBD-infused olive oil on hair for added luster and growth.

This includes using hemp for industrial materials such as plastics, concrete, and fire-retardant properties. The clothing industry can also benefit from hemp’s durability and strength. In addition to these eco-friendly uses, there are also potential medicinal and wellness benefits to be explored.
