yup, eltone has it right :thumbsup: ... it was grown all over the Midwest for the Navy's rope during WWII ... most of it was shipped by rail to Peoria, Illinois, where the 'Broderick and Bascomb Rope Mfg. Co.' made the rope ... all over the Midwest, the hempseeds rolled out the train doors, and they are STILL spraying the railroad tracks to kill it, to this day :S2: (how come THEY can't stamp it out, and we're killing them by accident ??) :wtf:
