A Washington, D.C.-based data analyst firm has released preliminary results on its survey on how Humboldt County cannabis farmers operate and what they think of the legalization of the industry.

“The community is primarily made up of growers only,” New Frontier Data wrote in its preliminary results. “65 percent are not vertically integrated.”
To bring themselves into the regulatory fold, about 47 percent of surveyed farmers said they are looking to raise $1 million, with another 27 percent saying they want to raise less than $100,000.
