POT PLANT STANDS OUT

As pot operations go, this one impressed even the agents who shut it down and arrested the six people who ran it.

It wasn't just the numbers: A facility south of Modesto that could produce about $8 million worth of marijuana annually.  Or the 2,000 plants seized.  Or the53 pounds of dope found ready to be packed and sold at a street value of $4,000 a pound.

( They could have packaged it in smaller amounts, labeled it as "value added" and charged even more.  Hey, it works with baby carrots.  )
