ONALASKA - Someone set up an outdoor pot-growing operation behind a chicken farm in Onalaska, in Lewis County.

Deputies say the farm's owner had no idea it was there.

Police found a camp in the woods -- right in the middle of a thousand marijuana plants.

The plants were spread out over three acres -- and valued at about $300,000.

Police say many people had access to the land and so far they have no suspects.
