In this segment from “The Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation” you’ll learn about soybeans and how Henry Ford harvested them into a variety of uses.

what I didn't hear mentioned in this brief video is the fact that Ford went to George Washington Carver to ask him as advice for what can he use to make fuel, plastics and oils for his cars. It was George Washington Carver came up with the whole game plan even for mass-producing cars told to Ford. By Carver.

If you're going to tell the story please tell it right. George Washington Carver was the one who encouraged Farmers to plant soybeans and he was also the one who found many uses for them. This is why Henry Ford went to George Washington Carver in order to see if he can create a form of durable plastic that he can make his cars out of. Please get it right.

I'm reading that there was also hemp, flax, wood pulp and cotton composed in his bioplastics. Do you have more info on this?

[captainmemelord]

Somebody should revisit this idea. Not only would it be environmentally friendly, it would bring jobs to the United States.

[meta-phizzn.c.]

Washington Cover.. gave him the idea for growing the bean, .. and Cover invited plastic from the Soy bean... (They 4, got that part😎😂😂😂😉)...

[lasseandersen]

I have a question do you still have the formula for making the plastic??? And I know its a hard topic but shouldn't you mention that there was hemp in the construction of the car??

[blocstrz]

George Washington Carver invented that car’s exterior

The Hemp car was made from Hemp in the Ford Soybean laboratory.

Excellent video, "I learned much about one of my favorite people"👍🏻

[mr_knowitall]

I thought it was hemp plastic he used.

George Washington Carver created the SOYBEAN not FORD. Carver also created the "assembly line factory" which then was labeled as a PLANT. George Washington Carver A BOTANIST created the PLANT. CMon.... Wow.

We are actually reusing his recipes here in Colombia South America, because in the USA you can not drive on City, County or State roads without paying tax on the fuel. United Nations Resolution 48(b-1) states that any UN Nation using 100% Biofuel may not tax this product. The USA is the only nation that voted against it. There for you have E85 which is 80/20 and not 100% Biofuel and therefore taxed. Ford did in fact go to Carver. But the actual production and development was done by Ford. Carver pointed Ford in the right direction but told him it was a waste of time. Standard Oil Company would have a Hissy Fit and would eventually get in his way. Which they did and therefore got Hemp outlawed.

This an attempt to suppress accurate history. The car was made from hemp not soybean and it ran on hemp fuel as well.

Hi! I am a 12th grader and I have a research paper going on related to this video. Can you please contact me? I have a few questions that would be a great help if ansewred. A response would highly be appreciated. Thanks.

Misinformation, disinformation, distracting from the truth about "Ford hemp car".

[JohnKuhles]

Soybeans??? You Cover Up The FACT That It Was HEMP FFS

[Eliptix]

This video is crap, no mention of HEMP even though in 1941 Henry Ford built a car out of it. Thumbs down!

[gX-spto]

This have to be one of the most racist videos ever ... they gave George Washington Carver respect to Ford 🤦🏾‍♂️✊🏾
