Upon their arrival, officers discovered a black, plastic container lid in the driveway that had a green, leafy substance laying on it, drying in the sun. 

Two feed sacks with the same green, leafy plant laying on them were also found between the barn and the driveway. 

The same substance was also found hanging to dry in the barn.
