I am involved in a pilot seed growing program for creating a kenaf seed bank here in Michigan.  I just planted my allotment of seed furnished to me by Kenaf Partners USA (kenafpartnersusa.com).

The essential to kenaf as a rotational cash crop for Michigan farmers is a viable seed in quantities to meet future demand.  I am hopeful for viable results emanating from this pilot program which is being conducted all over the USA.

My new kenaf book, “Seeding the World” https://amzn.to/2UPR4gX 

is an introduction to kenaf as a rotational cash crop for American farmers and was written in conjunction with this pilot seed program.

This will be an important phase in the creation of possibilities for kenaf in Michigan and across the USA.  I will try to update as the season progresses.
