this crop i spend almost 40 hours a week just focused on compliance and trying to fiture out all of this1120 , from the california fish and wildlife , to the state water board to the department of ag to the dept of pesticide regulation, this is one of the most heavily regulated crops we've probably seen in history so it's challengingthe folks at the justice grown farm only cultivate a little less than one acre on their 56 acre propery because that's all they are allowed under county ordinance. they'd like to grow a second acre on this patch as well....but that's unlikely to happen unless sonoma county decides to change their cannabis rules...yet again. this is the second harvest they've gathered here at this location. they used to be in another spot....but were forced to move after officials decided their old farm was in an area not suitable for commerical pot farming. they

are applying for a variance so they don't have to move a third time.that and many other aspects of becoming a legitimate cannabis business remains up in the air. compliance is a moving target so it's challeging to build your operations, make smart capitol investments when you don't know exactly what that finish line should look like. while they have authorization to operate justice grown still does not have an official permit from the county ...and it could be six months to a year until that's a reality. brady says there are over 200 cannabis farmers in sonoma county trying to get a conditional use permit. it's been over a year since this process began and as yet, none of them have been granted one. 5:52.so that leaves a lot of folks in limbo not knowing if they should continue to invest if they should continue moving forward or they should just pull the plug and just find a different county a different city that might have a more friendly cannabis policy9:19 most of us have deep roots in this county so the idea of leaving is really painful but the idea of abandoning, for alot of us this is our dream, is also really painfulbut brady says justice grown is still in a better position than other smaller farmers forced to fold or stay underground because county rules state that those one acre pot grows must sit on 10 acres of farmland29:05 we've

got a lot of farmers who have been on 5 acres, 8 acres 9.2, this kind of thing for those folks to up and move is challenging (standup)while the excessive amount of red tape is one of the bigger downsides of legalization, the director of operations of this farm says there are many positive aspects to being legal that are already starting to take root...14:39 k in one beautiful way it's forced alot of young folks into the political dialogue and gotten them involved in local goverment that htey maybe won't be beforebrady herself has a seat on sonoma county's cannabis advisory committee...one of many cannabis operators.advocating for acceptance of their growing industry as it continues to bloom,maureen kelly kron4 news.

(pam) lots to talk about in the sports world tonight... (ken) mark carpenter joins us in the studio.

we'll open the show with major heartbreaking news that surfaced earlier this evening. the passing of legendary giant willie mccovey. mccovey was one of the greatest to ever play the game..and just loved by so many giants fans. the first major fan favorite when the franchise came to san francisco. he was a big- time, major league slugger with the resume to back it up. six-time all-star... mvp... rookie of the year... three-time national league home run leader. he finished with 521-homers...20th on the all-time list.. a 22-year major league career that started back in 1959...with him going 4-for-4 off the hall of famer robin roberts. mccovey went into the hall himself...in 1986...his first year of eligibility... here's a clip from willie mac's hall of fame induction. "i'm truly honored and blessed with this ultimate adoption if you will, by the game that i played so hard and loved so deeply. and for many warm summer sunday afternoons in the years to come, i will cherish the memories of my baseball career and the closeness of my family, friends, relatives, teammates, fans and my fellow hall of famers. and i know my

mother would not want me to leave this stage without thanking god almighty, thanks jesus and thank you." and earlier tonight, kron4 news caught up with giants president larry baer... for his thoughts on mccovey. "he lived in the same house on the peninsula for 40 years, i think going back to almost when he was playing and just as he was last few years as a player so he was very much part of the community. he came here in 1959 hailed from alabama, and he never left. it was pretty much a beautiful story, you wish it can go forever..you wish someone like willie can live forever." there's no easy way to segue from that story, but the 49ers and raiders will be

in action tomorrow night. --starting with the 49ers, it's still unclear if cj beathard will get the start after hurting his wrist against the cardinals. --if he can't play that nick mullens gets the start... 2nd year undrafted qb out of southern mississippi. the 23-year-old on the possibility of making his nfl debut as a starter. "i got a lot of reps during ota's and during preseason, and the quicker you can visualize the plays and react on the field..the better you'll be so, just having a year under my belt, i feel a lot more comfortable. it is what it is, it's a situation, it's a short week and you know that's why we're in this business, you know..just be tough and whatever comes at you, you got to be ready for it so i think definitely this team is ready to prepare and attack thursday." now to the raiders, who, like the 49ers are looking for their 2nd win of the year. the raider defense does not know which qb to prepare for, but they do have some intel on mullens.. as he played with running back jalen richard... and worked out with southern miss legend and hall of famer-- brett favre. good thing gruden has favre's number. .

"well i'll get a hold of brett favre and knowing a little bit more on jalen richard has helped us a little but he's getting play in the preseason, athletic guy and you never underestimate anybody in this league, he did some really good things. i was a quarterback in the preseason, we've got a lot of respect for whoever is under center." finally... the warriors hosting anthony davis and the new orleans pelicans tonight... the warriors are off to a 7-and-1 start... and earlier today draymiond green said despite three titles in four years... complacency has definitely not set in"i think this is a group of veterans who are still hungry and so it's not necessarily that we're on our death bed and just kinda sitting around watching and seeing what happens and this is a group of veterans that are still hungry and you know but it is good to add new energy." that wraps up kron4 news at 6. we'll see you tonight at 8.... we'll see you 6.kron4 news at that wraps up that wraps up that wraps up kron4 news at that wraps up
