The products included in our 23rd installment of the 31 Days of Hemp campaign will take you far and wide: hemp transportation. Land and water vessels alike have utilized hemp in various forms but especially for durable canvas, strong ropes, and green bio-plastics. Henry Ford, of automotive Ford fame, wanted to help farmers and incorporated hemp with other plant materials into the body of his early Model-T’s.
