Well These numbers are misleading. If calcannabis broke it down by sq ft of farms, humboldt would be on the bottom of the list. Example -there is a single million ACRE grow in lake county called “Humboldt standard” that isn’t on this list, even though that’s likely double what is permitted in our entire county? Another example-Have you seen Santa Barbra recently? Those mega farms are in the same category as much smaller farms in humboldt, who also have more extreme regulations and so costs.
Additionally Humboldt county had the most farms than any other county pre legalization, so it should be at the top and by a long shot. But the permit success rate for the county is under 10% and that is the figure that matters. Those 10% are more often struggling with county bureaucracy, extreme regs and costs, while the 90% are out of business and all their employees are struggling as well, rippling out to the entire community. Our small legacy farmers are getting wiped out, please show us those numbers calcannabis.
