Benjamin Dwan Hadley, 53, of Columbia, had reached an agreement and pleaded guilty in July to the federal charges. U.S. District Judge Thomas B. Russell also sentenced Hadley to five years supervised probation following his prison sentence of 10 years and one month. In July 2001, Kentucky State Police and federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents raided Hadley's farm in Adair County and discovered nearly 1,000 marijuana plants and evidence of an indoor growing operation. They also discovered materials and equipment used to make methamphetamine at the southern Kentucky farm. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Stevens
