My great uncle used to have a lot of volunteer hemp on his farm. He grew it during WWII for rope. The livestock wouldn’t eat it.

That can’t be true he must have been a dope dealer.
I know because I had a history professor one told me the Founding Fathers were dope dealers because they raised hemp.
I told her the hemp was for rope, mainly for sailing ships.
She told me she had been sailing and they didn’t use hemp ropes on sailing ships because it would rot. They used nylon on sailing ships.
You can’t argue with a genius.
I remember being a little kid in the 60s visiting my Grandpa in Iowa and him complaining about the long haired hippies from Iowa City coming around his place to pick the Iowana ditchweed that had been planted back in the war.

Difference between hemp and marijuana.
