Yield drives value, damages and, in criminal cases, quantity. Yet yield claims are often borrowed from marketing figures or best-case scenarios.
Why jurisdiction matters: Growing season length and climate shape outdoor yields, while indoor yields depend more on facility design, so regional context matters.
