Sheriff’s Deputies made a huge marijuana bust in Southern Oregon Friday, seizing as many as 50,000 plants.

Raids began Friday morning on farms spread out over five square miles near Applegate, outside of Medford.

Roughly 200 local, state and federal agents participated in the raid, and were busy Friday taking down the plants.

The street value of the crop was estimated at up to $250 million.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, the farms were operated by Mexican cartels and were located less than a mile from homes in the area. No arrests had been made yet.

Yeah saw that on tv. No surprise who was in charge and who most likely maintained it all??....

Bet they were really ticked and are now looking for their field guys because they let them down!
