Behind the Reporting: An Investigation into California's Williamson Act

Join the Fresnoland Team for the first event in our Behind the Reporting series!

Environment Reporter, Greg Weaver, will be in conversation with Senior Editor, Rob Parsons, to talk about his years-long investigation into the Williamson Act, California's biggest land program. He found that just 120 mega-farms – less than 1% of recipients – are capturing half of the program's $5 billion tax shelter, while thousands of small farmers receive little to no benefit. This investigation exposes how a program designed to preserve family farms has instead subsidized their demise.

This event will be taking place in the Sun Stereo Warehouse events space, located to the rear of the building's first floor.
