I was under the impression than "hemp" is already Oregon's largest cash crop.
Unfortunately, under current practice the fiber is not utilized to its
fullest potential, since other parts of the plant are considered more
valuable.  Hemp fibers can be as long as fibers from other sources, so the
problem of short fibers should not be an issue.
