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 ; )

UK: OPED: Britain's Drug Policy Will Not Improve Until We Are Bold Enough to Exp
The Observer, 05 Sep 2010 - We Can't Know the Potential Benefits of Innovations Like Portugal's Unless We Research Them, Says Alex Stevens For years, the UK government has consistently used a myth to stave off any bold innovations in our failing drug policy. It has predicted that liberalisation would inevitably lead to higher rates of drug use and related harms. The example of Portugal seriously challenges this argument.
