Hemp was the most valuable crop in the world up to the 1890's
It's still a valuable crop. The seed is approx £900/ton (wheat is about £160/t ATM)
The straw is also valuable- ten times that of wheat, so about £200 per big bale. Not sure what they use it for nowadays but the farm near me has a licence to grow it.
