Just try and decipher what this really means.

NORTHSTATE, Calif. — The California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) approved over $74 million in grants recently to protect 54,000 acres of agricultural lands at risk of development. The investments are part of Round 8 of the Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation Program (SALC), a state program protecting agricultural lands,
reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
and strengthening primarily rural economies.
To elaborate on the impact of the program, Executive Director of the California Strategic Growth Council Lynn von Koch-Liebert reiterated the Growth Council's mission, expressing the critical nature that this action serves for land across the state
" The Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation program protects agricultural lands with
a goal of reducing carbon emissions,
supporting rural economies, and accelerating conservation efforts, SALC grants provide much-needed direct investment and technical assistance support to the farmers, organizations, and local governments who are tirelessly working to protect our state’s natural and working lands.
This is the eighth round of annual funding from SGC’s SALC Program and brings the total acres of agricultural land protected or in the process of being protected through SALC Program grants to 195,000 acres.
Investments from this round of funding will create 25 agricultural easements in 17 counties as far north as Siskiyou County and as far south as Santa Barbara County. This suite of easements will total approximately 54,030 acres. Safeguarding this agricultural land will
avoid an estimated 619,227 metric tons of CO2 equivalent
over the next 30 years, which amounts to taking 133,424 cars off the road for one year.
The Shasta Land Trust, which is a non-profit focused on protecting North State lands, is expected to receive funding for projects in the area.
Additionally, we spoke with Prather Ranch Owner Jim Rickert who told KRCR that any effort to protect the land is vital, expressing his support for the program and explaining that it is a step in the right direction for the North State.
SGC will also award 20 capacity-building grants as part of a new component of the SALC program this year. These projects will facilitate the development of agricultural conservation acquisition projects in 33 counties as far north as Del Norte and Siskiyou counties and as far south as San Diego and Imperial counties.
While, initially, the SALC Program had allocated up to $3 million for capacity grants, the Strategic Growth Council voted recently to increase the allocation to $4.4 million in response to the high demand for capacity grants from across the state. Capacity grants accelerate progress towards California’s Natural and Working Lands goal to
conserve 30 percent of California’s lands
and coastal waters by 2030 by increasing the number of projects supported for future investment.

Looks like tax payer money spent to deprive tax payers use of their own land and driving landowners into default and losing their property to save muver earth to me, ymmv.
Below is a link to Naomi Wolf and her husband and what was found in the OmniCoupUs bill that I think is related to this subject.
Dr. Naomi Wolf sits down with husband and private investigator Brian O’Shea to get to the bottom of what’s exactly in this bill.

Driving up the cost of land.
Working Lands goal to
conserve 30 percent of California’s lands

I wonder what, exactly, their definition of ‘ conserve’ is.
They are aiming for 1/3 of the state !!!
In our area...they scr**** everything up...They bought it to save it and then wound up putting in a monstrous solar farm. And this is in Upstate NY where gas is readily available.
Sounds like they are declaring 30% of California farmland UNUSABLE and paying the land owners to Not Grow Food. My guess is very soon the farmers that take this money will LOSE their land when the same people Steal it from them by declaring it “environmentally sensitive”.
To protect the snail darter ... again??
That automatically makes available land more valuable/expensive.
I guess that meeting their carbon neutral goal will be much easier when all the peasants move away.
What a bunch of unintelligible gobbledegook.
Does “conserve land” mean 1) protecting farmers and farmland from rapacious developers or 2) preventing any farming on fertile farmland?

Probably both.
No building on farm land that can no longer be farmed.
They’ve already bankrupted lots of farmers and ranchers already, this will probably finish off the remaining.
Imagine, some of the world’s most productive agricultural land on the planet , locked up.
And the tax payer is paying ngo’s and “ non profit corps” to do it.
Paying the theifs to rob us.
It says that farmers are the last holding the bag.
Government took control of education. Then health care. Then energy. Now transportation. It’s no surprise they want control of the food supply.
Government is totally out of control and we are sleepwalking to full throated communism.

That’s why I call this the
OmniCoupUs bill.
Aka
The kill shot bill.
