Kentucky is one of the top producers of marijuana in the U.S. each year. During hot Kentucky summers, using helicopters, ATV's and on foot, Troopers with the Kentucky State Police locate, cut and burn hidden fields of marijuana in the hollows and hills of the Bluegrass. Mike's sweaty, dirty and thrilling job...help locate, cut and burn Kentucky's number 1 cash crop. Its a dirty job but somebody has to do it! Come help us out Mike!

This is the best one yet!!! Please take on the marajuana growers of Kentucky.

Let's work together to get this one going!!!!!

just bumping this page

I vote yes for this one!!!!!

I've watched 'Dirty Jobs' minimal times, but have enjoyed the few I've seen. This marijuana busters idea is definitely worth pursuing. I mean, who doesn't love a good cop show?? The country thinks that tobacco is Kentucky's main crop, but boy are they WRONG. Tape it, and we will watch!!!!

I used to be a reporter and I've been with the KSP several times during marijuana eradication. The burning is the worst part. I was once covering a raid which, at the time, netted the largest number of plants ever found in the state. Cops were cutting and burning all day. By the time I left, I was almost afraid to drive.

FYI, Mike, much of this is done in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. The hills aren't that high, but they're straight up and down. It's tough hiking, and there are plenty of places an ATV or a helicopter can't get to. If this one gets picked, DJ could do the Acid Mine Drainage testing at the same time, since they try to schedule three shoots in the same area in a week.

I know that this would not only be a dirty, nasty, and hard job (not to mention possibly hazardous to your health!), but it would also show the nation what's being done in Southeastern Kentucky to eradicate marijuana. I think the nation would be interested to see what's going on in the hills, and Mike could definitely make it entertaining.

They cut and "BURN" the marijuana fields?? Hmm.. I'll bet the KSP keeps the Dominoes delivery guy busy when they're doing the burning part! HEE HEE HEE!! CHEERS!

Come on Mike, give us a call, we can get you signed up to help us out this summer! We start cutting in June and end in September!

Those hollers and hills are waiting!

That would be good, and while here he could hit the coal mines as one lady suggested as well as heading north to Tollesboro Ky and visit Jackie's Deer Lures and help bottle deer urine for the retail market

where are you located at KSP Trooper? My dad is a trooper out of post 12 in frankfort, his name is robert hawkins, been there forever

Oh yeah Im in on this one. I like the ideas to get into a coal mine and the deer urine too. Don't forget the the plain ol pork farmers. Them folks get three shades of messy on a daily basis...Oh yeah and we wanna see you on the catapults of the USS Abraham Lincoln too...

Possibly the number two cash crop is Moosnshine....
so why not take on both together keep the dominoes pizza delivery folks running like mad !!!

Response : I work out of KSP Headquarters in Frankfort. I know your father.

I like this Mike! Do it!
And it also sends a message. You now, a positive one!

Just think Mike, you can do a dirty job and help keep drugs off the street at the same time! It would actually be like doing a dirty job and a clean job all at the same time, that is a first!

Just think, the smell, the heat, the drama, the fun, it would be a great show!!!

Kentucky State Police just seized 1250 lbs of this illegal weed over the weekend. Tme is running out Mike, come to Kentucky this summer and we will find, hike, cut and burn til your hearts content to help keep it off the street!
