Rice is a major farm crop both for domestic use and export. The fourth leg of the chair in Colonial land use was the fiber used to make the sailing ships operate. Miles of rope were needed to put a sailing ship into top trim and the salt water seas quickly degraded its quality before modern chemistry provided the quality preservatives needed to extend its livelihood. The product was Hemp and the leaves and buds that were once burned as trash are now a part of the economy and a cash crop of the underground. Modern chemistry learned that this industrial waste if smoked could become a product.
