Solano County farmers refuse to sell land to 'California Forever' project

Flannery Associates, investors in the proposed city of California Forever in Solano County, have gathered nearly 60,000 acres of land in the area and have become the largest land owners in the county.

Some farmers are still holding out and say they refuse to sell their historical land. One of the biggest hold outs in Rio Vista is McCormack Sheep and Grain with 3,700 acres near Rio Vista. They’ve farmed the land since the 1880s.

Don't Sell Good job people. I stand with you. I am very proud of you. Stay strong and keep your family there for generations to come

How can you sue someone for not wanting to sell their land? Am i missing something?

[Bingewatchingmediacontent]

YES! Good for you! Protecting your legacy as well as our future ❤

Can you do a segment on the politicians that are in the pocket of California Forever? It's hard to believe that corporations can sue people for the land that has been in the family before the corporation even existed.

Only way to take this guys land is Eminent Domain. Other than that this Private Investor can go pound sand

My Granddaddy taught me years ago, that son if the Man can't buy you out he'll BURN you out. One way or the other they're giving up the Land

California is farm land and some of the biggest and best and should not be touched. There should be laws protecting this farm land and made to where no one can buy it from the farmers and even if it changes hands they cant build anything else on it but the farm

And get sued for accepting a higher price. Water problems for all downstream. Nope, they can lease the land for grazing.
