An area the size of more than 60 football fields along Highway 246 near Lompoc could soon be covered in cannabis.
Earlier this month the Santa Barbara County Planning Commission approved a permit for SFS Farms that would allow them to grow more than 80 acres of cannabis on their property.
Neighboring wineries are now asking the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors to put a stop to the project.
When it comes to making wine in the Santa Rita Hills, General Manager of Melville Winery, Kurt Ammann, says there s nothing like it.
