{"product_id":"9780813109305","title":"A History of the Hemp Industry in Kentucky","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is hard to believe that at one time burley tobacco was not the chief cash crop in Kentucky. Yet for more than half a century hemp dominated the state's agricultural production.\n\u003cbr\u003eJames Hopkins surveys the hemp industry in Kentucky from its beginning through its complete demise at the end of World War II, describing the processes of seeding and harvesting the plant, and marketing manufactured goods made of the fiber.\n\u003cbr\u003eWith debate presently raging over the legalization of industrial hemp, it is essential that an accurate portrait of this controversial resource be available. Although originally published in 1951, Hopkins's work remains remarkably current as hemp manufacturing today is little changed from the practices the author describes. This edition includes an updated bibliography of recent publications concerning the scientific, economic, and political facets of industrial hemp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The University Press of Kentucky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42728196571211,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":891.33,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9780813109305-1.jpg?v=1783360450","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9780813109305","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
