A third marijuana farm, bigger than the others, found near Grand Prairie border

Comment

GRAND PRAIRIE — We're starting to lose track here but a third marijuana farm, this one even more monstrously huge than the last, was found near the border of Dallas and Grand Prairie (they're now calling the area "near Mountain Creek Lake").

Eet ees so big that WFAA is calling it a "plantation," with approximately 30,000 plants worth up to $25 million; that last record-breaking one, found in mid-July, had 10,451 plants.

A DEA agent hinted that plantings this big are the work of a Mexican drug cartel.

Now on its 15th year, the punk tour's gotten tighter, with fewer stages and 40-minute sets instedda 30. Get there early for Colorado duo 3OH!3 and Brit punkers Gallows (pictured, credit Jay West).
