Cutting Hemp near Lexington on One of the Largest Fields in Kentucky
01
Artifact Overview
This stereograph shows four mules, two men, and one self-rake reaper harvesting industrial hemp. The reaper, perhaps a McCormick-Deering model, was reinforced to cut the woody stalks and rake them onto the ground. The text incorrectly links hemp with other strains of Cannabis sativa and other species (Cannabis indica) from which medicinal or recreational products, including hashish, derive.
