LARGEST OPIUM POPPY BUST IN CA HISTORY IS IN MONTEREY COUNTY

In mid-May, authorities discovered an acre of poppy fields in Monterey County.

By the end of the month, they carried out the largest known opium poppy bust in California history, according to the Monterey County Sheriff's Office.

"We know it's the biggest grow in California history and we believe it could be the biggest in the nation," sheriff's spokesman Cmdr.  John Thornburg told the Monterey County Herald.
