It was part of a general trend across the country that what small gains had been made in reducing poppy cultivation were being reversed, because they had largely been driven by short-term incentives.

Gardeners raising the plant in small quantities for ornamental purposes typically fall below authorities' radar."Once we saw them harvesting the crop and attempting to drive it away, we had to step in and stop them," Lathim said of the farm.An operation to destroy the plants on the farm was carried out by the DEA, Lathim said, a day after his deputies intercepted a truck loaded with seed pods leaving the farm.
