Kenaf, A New Rotational Cash Crop for American Farmers.
This book is a stepping stone and a golden opportunity for farmers across America. In partnership with Kenaf Partners USA, farmers have a ground floor opportunity to plant, grow and harvest the hibiscus plant “kenaf” for its precious seed. Kenaf Partners USA’s Pilot Seed Growing Program is underway and should prove to be key to opening doors to kenaf as a rotational cash crop and contribute markedly to existing and new businesses across the USA.
In 2019, finding kenaf seed is like searching for gold. There is very little of it to be found in the USA and its sources seem to be as closely guarded as Fort Knox. Just try to acquire the requisite seed to plant a one thousand acre farm in any of the various latitudes of the USA.
Good luck.
Kenaf Partners USA has researched and formulated short and long range plans for farmers to cash in on this gold rush for 2019 and beyond. The first step of the formula is raising kenaf for seed. This is truly a “Seeds for Life” undertaking by Kenaf Partners USA in partnership with farmers with the foresight to look to the future for options. There is a vast need for seed production as well as providing fiber/wood/oil for current and new markets for this diverse plant. QuickTurtle Books® has scraped the surface of some of this plant’s diverse properties and uses in their first book titled Kenaf, Seeds for Life. It is available here on this website or as a free download from:

or as a paperback from Amazon.
As things currently stand, many of America’s farmers are unsuspectedly being ushered down a dead end road paved by false data, missing data and Special Interest’s recommendations labeled as “Best Practices”. The current recklessness of GMO seed patenting and seed manipulation, along with unnecessary pesticides, herbicides and limited soil nutrient recommendations should soon become a relic for the history books.
If you want to retain your precious land’s soil and seed for future generations, now is the time to act. It is time to start cutting the umbilical cord from these chemical giants that are working around the clock to manipulate and monopolize your seed and crop production.
These same organizations are the ones that lobby and bribe our government representatives in order to protect and promote their dangerous and unsustainable farming practices. Kenaf
Partners USA’s bottom line is your success and our paying it forward!
This book is the symbolic launch of the kenaf industry in the United States. Once we get started, we’ll never look back.
Kenaf
Seeding the World
No Lands should starve
on this precious planet.
We have hibiscus
and the means to plant it
We have farm land
and we have good will.
We have true knowledge
and the mental skill.
We can harness the rain
with our plans unfurled,
pry GMO’s grip
from seeds of the world.
Kenaf is resilient
as the human spirit;
we should never give in
though few will hear it.
Let’s save our seeds
to grow our dreams
to feed the world
its ways and means.
God staked the first
claim on our lands.
It is best to create
God’s will with our hands.
No man’s a slave
to a can’t or a should.
All men are brave
and all men are good.
We have farm land!
And we have good will!
We have true knowledge
and the mental skill.
Kenaf is resilient
as the human spirit;
we should never give in
though few will hear it.
Kenaf offers a way out of the dwindling spiral of diminishing returns. As farmers, you can and should flourish and prosper, and by doing so, help the world flourish and prosper as well. Kenaf Partners USA has some very valuable information and answers for long-range help and implementation of sustainable seed growing and farming practices that all but guarantee prosperity through the Kenaf Seed Program.
This program is designed for creating farm prosperity well into the future through the production of kenaf and a build out of infrastructure for kenaf processing and product production. Kenaf is the rotational cash crop of the near future.
Now is the time to act!

‘I put nature to work so that we have lots of different varieties of healthy foods to eat. I figure out ways to provide all the things in life we depend upon from our land. I work to make it look pretty. Once nature arrives in all of its various forms to co-habit with each other, they will stay, raise their families and provide for each other and us humans, too. When this happens we have lots of time to play, do art and other things we want to do.’
Mr. Lawrason is working with Artists, Scientists, Leaders,Teachers, Entrepreneurs and Investors as a visionaryguide and team builder for projects that can help makethis a better world.
