keeping buds clean?

Alright a little backstory. I started out growing on my ranch in the odessa midland area of tx. I'm not sure how familiar yall are with our weather down here... If winds exceed 30mph which is quite often since there is nothing to stop the wind we get huge dust storms. Like sky is brown and you can barely see the car in front of you.. Like fog
My ranch is a working ranch, we have bout 400 head of black angus mmm mmm yumm. But so imagine dirty air and wind gusts up to 40mph. How would one go about growing in these conditions.
What would yall do to keep the weed clean? Do other outdoor growers have issues like this or is it just my location.... I have since started growing indoors but I'm still curious

I would imagine a greenhouse or something to cover the plant would keep it clean during the storm.

With a hepa filter on the intake.

That dust is going to stick to the tri chomes - if you can keep it from up rooting on 40 MPH.
Use the thick 6 ft tall boxy tomato cage(s). That will hold up your plant(s). Then when the winds come - throw
a nice clear plastic bag over them. Being your on a working farm; their must be a location, side of wall etc.

Or go with a quality green house...

greenhouse.

"Short, Stable" Greenhouse. I could just see it now, an unanchored greenhouse, sailing away in the wind

after the dust and sand is lodged into the trics....too late,but you can dunk the bud up and down in a bucket of water like washing your golf ball to get most the sand off err....other than that looks like you nee to make wax or cookies from them there buds.

ps...I trade you some green house bud for some prime steaks....yepee kayah!

ya as you can see from the other posts....greenhouse...lol

Haha thanks for the replies, yea anchored green house would be cool, lose a bt of discretion though. The tomato cage is good. ... I guess i might one day build me 1. The weather out here is crazy , ill keep goin indoors for now

Yea I just use a whatever micron syringe filter and make oil.

Grow it indoor for now. Sand and dust sticking to the buds will affect the results, unfortunately. In the meantime, why don't you research some bushes that have fast growth rate, and plant a perimeter around the area where you want to grow. This way in 2-5 years you'll have something to blend the plants with, and at the same offering some protecting against dust storms. However, no amount of barriers (short of choking your plants in plastic film) will prevent from dust and sand from getting on your plants. But if you work hard enough, believe me (from experience) you can minimize the amount of sand and dust getting on your plants to reduce the damage and get great results. I've grown near sand dunes before.
