Newsmakers: Marijuana Crop Tour in Northern Wisconsin

In a fascinating Newsmakers taped in northern Wisconsin, seven officers — including the Ashland County sheriff and a veteran Department of Justice agent — talk about why commercial growers of marijuana choose Wisconsin forests, and how growers live on-site for months, haul generators and other supplies deep into the forest on their backs and harvest the crop at the end of summer.
