Bret much appreciated, you must have saw my long winded response. In an attempt to be an informed person on these kinds of things, and acting intelligently in conjunction when you have to deal with it, certainly is the best plan in addition to having some laymans knowledge of the laws involved for reference. They must have some brass ones to cultivate on your place, and with that size acreage, it's going to be very difficult to see everything going on at all times. That stuff is everywhere today it seems, always a crew of em on the construction sites as I recall. It must be most commonly planted by the varying degrees of people who smoke it incessantly, and whom appear to be harmless for the most part I suppose. On the flip side I'd still very much hate to unexpectedly run into a large operation with armed people protecting it just the same, like what you see is more common in other states or other countries. Can't imagine large areas or operations of it going undetected in this state for long, and assuming that it really needs to be grown in large quantities to generate enough money to attract someone who will risk doing it. There is still some serious correctional facility time for those who go that far with it in NY. Must be yer smaller scale local do it yourselfers sneakin in. I would assume that you would also have some assistance from the air if need be, even at your own place, but with so much of it out there today in smaller plots by DIYers, I always wonder how they even detect enough to put a dent in it and if the people are going small like on the back side of a place the size of yours, can the air patrols actually still detect it? The cost of required aviation patrols using FLIR to just find it within this state must be a huge undertaking requiring a substantial budget, and to only eliminate a small percentage of it. Seems that they find the crops more than they find the people who planted them, kind of like the tresspassers, they usually just run and get away, only a small percentage of them actually getting caught. It's almost ironic to find something like that on your place though, and be in the profession you are, they really must have some unmitigated nerve or just have no clue. Good to know about the repeat tresspass offenders and that an order of protection when issued, carries a little more weight if they eff up again, never thought of that, and highly appreciate your response and any corrections to my earlier comments it just reinforces the protocol to follow, safe and sane like you said.
