US (WY): Tomato grower pleads guilty to growing marijuana

An organic tomato farmer in Wyoming pleaded guilty to federal charges of growing marijuana and money laundering.

Stewart Doty of Big Piney faces about two years in prison when he is sentenced in November. He also must forfeit $63,000 in cash seized during a search of his property in August 2017.

KTWO-AM reports Doty told U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl that his farming business had been declining and his debts were mounting so he converted about a third of his tomato greenhouse to growing marijuana.
