MARIJUANA FARM IN BAY AREA CALLED THE STATE'S BIGGEST
A National Guard helicopter on a training exercise spotted what authorities
are calling the largest marijuana farm in state history, Santa Clara County
sheriff's officials said Friday.
It took deputies more than a day to remove the 21,000 plants, which they
estimated were worth about $84 million on the street.
The marijuana was discovered Wednesday in a remote canyon in a rural area
of the county owned by the San Francisco Water Department. Also found were
three base camps, as well as several pistols.
The plantation was vacant when deputies arrived.
