>>>Originally from Africa, kenaf is a renewable fiber crop closely
related to
cotton. It reaches heights of 14 feet in less than seven months. Kenaf
stalks provide two to three times more fiber per acre annually than
the
Southern Pine, a paper industry staple in the U.S. South. U.S. farmers
can
grow kenaf in place of corn, soybeans, cotton, or rice.<<<<

Any farmers here plant this??
