DCI Peter MacPhee, leading the task force, claimed each farm could be reaping £1million a year for organised criminals.
He added: "The geography of the Highlands makes it a target.
"The remoteness of the area is the perfect condition for the drug's cultivation.
"They select properties where their activities can go unnoticed.
But I am confident that we will win the war here in the Highlands.
"They are harvesting vast quantities of herbal cannabis for onward supply throughout the country and further.
"The plants I have seen are of a high quality and you can gain a profit or yield of £300 per plant.
"In one location we had more than 1000 plants, so you can see the potential.
"To cultivate a crop, from seedling to harvest, drying out and packaging can take 15-20 weeks, so you could have at least three harvests a year.
"When you consider the initial outlay is about £12-£15,000 in set-up costs, plus rental, then the profit is high."
If a factory was producing 1000 plants three times a year, it would yield more than £900,000.
the way this interview reads, it's almost like it's an advertisement to start growing in the highlands, just look at those viable profits ; )
