About the spelling, punctuation, and paragraphs you are correct I will try harder for you, the beer gets the better of me at night, sorry. You would think that my agriculture degree from the University of Kentucky would have covered grammer, guess not.

This is the information I want you to source. How do you know how many plants were successfully harvested in either place? All you can go by is how much was seized, which has little bearing on how much was actually produced and more to do with local enforcement budgets.

I agree I don't know 100% on how many was harvested. We don't call and report that. Im going by the DEA estimates. The 1997 numbers are CA 693,603 eradicated, harvested 2,080,809. Daniel Boone 65 Counties 1,617,406 eradicated, harvested 2,098,447. Again these are the 1997 numbers. The DEA states locally that the numbers have increased here more. You can believe them or not. Regularly they have info like this in the local papers here. They use it as propaganda.

Funny how ORINCON's website doesn't work. The details in the article you posted sounds like an overly technical description of modern camera equipment. There is no way to differentiate marijuana from other plants from the air other than a visual check by a human being.

Lockheed Martin Orincon Corporation (originally ORINCON Corporation International) is a systems integration and information technology company that supports Lockheed Martin's position in the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) industry.

In 1990, Orincon's primary business was antisubmarine warfare; however, the U.S. Navy deprioritized antisubmarine warfare technology spending in anticipation of the end of the Soviet Union. Despite the hardship of transformation in the 1990s, Orincon grew by 25 percent in 1998. In fact, until Lockheed Martin acquired Orincon in June 2003, Orincon experienced growth every year since its inception. Orincon's customers have included, but are not limited to, the United States Navy, Department of Transportation, National Cancer Research Institute, and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Orincon developed the Intelligent Vehicle Sensor as part of its Airport Classification and Tracking System (ACATS). From 1990 to 1998, there were five fatal ground collisions on U.S. airport runways, and in 1996, there were 280 near misses. The sensor was installed at Long Beach Airport to track airplanes on the ground to avoid runway incursions
They have 250 employees and posted a revenue of 52 million in 2003.

Maybe you have heard of Lockheed Martin one of the biggest companies in the US? They have 140,000 employees with a 2007 revenue of 41.862 Billion USD.


I'm wondering if you can source your information regarding spectral photography with a more reputable source than a cannabisnews.com article. It's true that they use infrared cameras to detect possible indoor grows, but the technology you described is the stuff of urban legend.
