if there is marijuana being grown on the farm and it is not being grown at the instruction of the government for any of the medically accepted purposes the farm is risking the possibility of being taken over by the government is discovered
To tell you exactly what will happen is difficult because it depends on numerous circumstances such as quantity, background of the individuals involved, what the government and the DA decide to do (i.e are they making an example out of your farm because they can go for the most extreme sentence or let you off lightly but its impossible to determine)
Of course the best advice I can provide is to not grow illegal drugs on the farm because if discovered there are numerous possibilities for what can happen
