The Fresno Bee has started tracking these types of agriculture land sales using an AI tool that we developed so we can more efficiently share this news with you. Bee journalists are still using their reporting and writing skills to create the stories for you.
All the farmland tracked by The Bee was within the Williamson Act , a state classification that provides tax breaks to landowners who agree to keep their land in farming or open space for 10 years. The land can be sold, but the new owner is bound by its terms.
