Cureworks sends us the first video made from Lend A Hand To The Farmers. It seems fitting to me that it directly calls for the decriminalization of Cannabis Hemp Marijuana.

Around the world, for example in Canada, China and Eastern Europe, farmers contribute to the economic well being of their countries by cultivating Cannabis Hemp Marijuana for Raw Materials supporting multiple product groups.

A healthy economy grows from Raw Materials Producers and their ability to pay for the goods and services they require to stay productive.

When Family Farms are first driven into debt then bankruptcy and foreclosure by government policy that only further enriches bankers the entire economy loses it driving force.

Boutique Farms producing Raw Materials for Artisan Consumer Goods may be

the last example of working Family Farms in the United States

and

are insufficient to feed, cloth and shelter everyone

as they once were.

Rising oil prices and deepening economic turmoil will soon make everyone wish Family Farms could do it again.

A single known agricultural crop possesses the versatility and value to once again make Family Farms economic engines in today’s world.

A single known agricultural crop was criminalized exactly because of its versatility and value and the threat it poses to vested interests and obscene profits in Fiber, Timber, Petro-Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals.

Cureworks and I agree with Willie Nelson and Marty Dread, allowing Family Farms to cultivate Cannabis Hemp Marijuana helps us all.

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Put the power of production back in their hands
Lend a hand to the farmers in this time
The very future of the nation is on the line

Think of all these families
Being forced off their land
The small farmer is a chess piece
Being pushed by corporate hands

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Lend a hand, lend a hand
Put the power of production back in their hands
Lend a hand to the farmers in this time, lend a hand, lend a hand
The very future of the nation is on the line

Can’t you see that
To have a healthy nation
Good food is what we need
But without the cultivators
Whose gonna plant the seeds

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Lend a hand to the farmers on this land
Let’s put the power of production back in their hands
Put the power of production back in their hands.

Can’t you see
A bunch of rusted tractors
Thousands of idle hands
A nation raised on junk food
Millions of acres of wasted land

Lend a hand to the farmers on this land.
Lend a hand, lend a hand
Put the power of production back in their hands

Lend a hand to the farmers in this time
The very future of the nation is on the line

Lend a hand to the farmers
Let’s lend a hand to the farmers
Put the power of production back in their hands

Let’s lend a hand, let’s lend a hand to the farmers

{RAPPED}

At one time we had more than 8 million small family farmers on the land in this country.
Now we’re down to less than 2 million
Losing 300-500 every week.

The backbone of this country is the farmer
We’re losing our farmers
We’re losing the bottom rung on the economic ladder
If we don’t help our farmers we will go hungry

Lend a hand to the farmers and you are lending a hand to yourself.

Lend a hand to the farmers.
Put the power of production back into their hands

Lend a hand to the farmers
The future of the nation is on the line

Lend a hand to the farmers.

One of the many things the great Willie Nelson is known for is his campaign to restore hemp to the world. This song, LEND A HAND TO THE FARMERS is a powerful plea for salvation from the dynamic artists Willie Nelson and Marty Dread posted on the Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute site.

Hemp can help us save our family farm system, key to saving ourselves.

This trillion dollar plus cash crop can finance what needs to be done to restore the foundation of our economy, the farmer. As Richard M. Davis, founder of the USA Hemp Museum, says, know your grower. Otherwise we have the toxic chemicals added for profit, like what’s happening NOW!!!

Ending hemp prohibition so farmers can have a quick cash crop to solve their economic problems can help heal our whole economy with jobs, business and investment opportunities.

Since the federal government owns about 1/3 of the land, much of America can be leased at a reasonable rate to jump start this vital energy in our economic system.

DO IT NOW by Executive Order.

Please support Farm Aid and ending hemp prohibition so that we can save ourselves.

For more ideas visit the Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute founded by Willie Nelson, Jay Greathouse and Liz O’Garvey. The work being done there is extraordinarily healing. For more on hemp visit the USA Hemp Museum.
