Hi Patrick (and all),,
In my job here at Ohio State, I am Information Coordinator
for the Sustainable Agriculture program. I do research on
obscure questions such as this.

As luck would have it, I have done research on both hemp and
another 'alternative paper' crop called kenaf. The hemp
documents are in electronic medium. If you are interested in
these, let me know and I'll send them your way. Make sure your
mail box is empty, though, because they are quite large. The
information that I have on kenaf, however, is only in hardcopy
format. If you send me your snail mail address in a private
e-mail message, I'll send them to you.

I also did some research on cotton a couple of months ago. One source
that I found very useful, was the Cotton andWool yearbook. This is
online via gopher at:
gopher oldal.mannlib.cornell.edu
Once connected to their gopher server, choose #1 (datasets), #3 (crops),
and then (I think) 1 again. There is a lot of tables (lotus format)
here and I think you could probably find wh
