Willie Nelson sat down with program host, Casper Leitch, to discusses his advocacy for American farmers and the importance of hemp as a cash crop.

Willie Nelson expresses concern for farmers who have lost their lands due to financial struggles and corporate takeovers, leading to unemployment, poverty, and social issues. He argues that farmers are forced to use excessive pesticides and chemicals to maintain their yields, often due to bank loans. Nelson also highlights the historical significance of hemp and its various uses throughout history, including as fiber for sails, clothing, and paper.

Willie believes that if 10 to 27 million acres of hemp were farmed annually in the United States, it could generate significant income and reduce paper costs. Nelson also encourages listeners to support parity pricing for farmers, which would allow buyers to pay a fair market price for crops as a donation to help the hungry or poor.

Willie also emphasizes the importance of educating farmers about the value of hemp and the negative consequences of its eradication, which leads to soil erosion and food scarcity. Nelson encourages listeners to contact their local representatives to support hemp legalization and to get involved in organizations like Farm Aid to help American farmers.
