1898 USDA Report Reveals Europe’s Hemp Secrets..
In 1898 the U.S. Department of Agriculture sent fiber expert Charles Richards Dodge to document Europe’s hemp growing practices. His report captured every detail from regional varieties and yields to retting methods and seed selection so American farmers could match Europe’s high grade fiber. From France’s water retted hemp to Italy’s prized Piedmont strain this was the blueprint for elevating U.S. hemp to world class standards.
