20,000 pot plants found in Yakima Valley

By Associated Press

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - Authorities in Yakima County have busted a marijuana growing operation near Mabton, southeast of Yakima.

Sgt. Rick Beghtol of the lower Yakima Valley's drug task force estimates the operation involved 20,000 plants. Several thousand plants were found in a drying shed.

Beghtol says three people were arrested Friday morning when the Sunnyside SWAT team raided the house. Two other men escaped into a cornfield.

Officers seized four firearms, including a sawed-off shotgun.

In the past couple of months, drug agents in Yakima County already had pulled up 54,000 marijuana plants before Friday's bust.

As homer simpson would say....Ohhhh i could have smoked that pot!

Tell me the 2 guys that got away in the corn field aren't shitting there pant's right now!

i live right around yakima, and dam am i glad my plants died. I've seen alot more helicopters than usual and nearby in goldendale they found like 10,000 plants in a corn field. but its all good an ounce here is usually $100. now i know why, all the thousand plant crops. dam I'm gonna go poking around some corn fields..wish me luck

All the world's naturalists missed 125,000 gorillas.....but the feds found 20,000 plants?
Seems like a misappropriation of funds.

I know someone who was shot at by a farmer for going in a corn field on a 4 wheeler. no pot involved. wouldn't put it past a pot farmer. then you also have to worry about pigs staking it out.
