Abstract
"Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has seen a resurgence in agricultural, industrial, and economic significance across the United States (Mark, 2019). Historically, industrial hemp played a vital role in American agriculture. The crop was widely cultivated from the colonial period through the 19th century. Hemp was an essential crop for producing textiles, rope, and other industrial materials (Small, 2002). George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp for use in naval equipment, clothing, and paper (Fike, 2016). The cultivation of industrial hemp in Missouri dates back to 1835 (USDA, 1914) when farmers began growing the crop primarily for fiber production. By the mid-to-late 1800s, Missouri ranked second to Kentucky in national hemp output, driven by demand for cordage, canvas, and textiles (Horner et al., 2019)." -- first page
