3,000 marijuana plants seized in Kansas October 11, 2010 - kansascity.com
Kansas Bureau of Investigation authorities and Reno County law enforcement officers have seized 3,000 marijuana plants that had been cultivated and found growing near Haven, Kan., about 35 miles northwest of Wichita.
The plants are estimated at $1,000 apiece and could yield about 1 pound of marijuana each, according to Reno County officials. The marijuana stalks were 12 to 14 feet tall and thought to have been planted around late April or early May.
Authorities were alerted to the cultivated plants on Friday after two people clearing areas for deer stands came across the plants. The area was a half mile north of the Arkansas River and four miles north of Haven, Reno County Sheriff Randy Henderson said Monday.
The plants were not native to Kansas. It appears people brought their own seeds and began growing them — taking great time and care with the plants. By doing so, Henderson said, the marijuana did not need to be smuggled across the border. Authorities found some plants on wooden drying tables made from tree limbs.
Evidence at the scene included two tents, sleeping mats, tables and stools made from tree limbs found in the area.
The growers had their own camping stove and had dug a hole in the ground — deep enough and close enough to the Arkansas River to supply water to the site and help irrigate the plants. In fact, the well had stairs.
October is often a prime month for marijuana, as efforts are made to illegally harvest the plants before the first freeze, Henderson said.

It could have been hemp that they were trying to harvest. It's hard to imagine 3k n plants that tall that were planted. I've seen football sized fields of it growing all over Kansas. 1k per plant?
