520 |a Did you know: hemp has been in cultivation for over 10,000 years? It is the worlds strongest natural fiber? It was grown by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson? That it was the main cash crop of New France, mandated by Louis XIV? This hemp rope was used in rigging a man-o-war weighing 60 tons?
