Documentary Shines Light on California’s Working Lands

The California Rangeland Trust’s documentary “You Just Can’t See Them From the Road” is hitting the big screen in communities across the state. You can catch it Tuesday, October 21st, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM at the Angels Theatre in Angels Camp, and again Wednesday, October 22nd at District 56 in Elk Grove.

This film takes an honest look at life in production agriculture, an industry that now involves less than two percent of Americans. It highlights the challenges farmers and ranchers face every day, including rising costs, tough weather, and policies that often make it harder to care for the land the way they know best.

The story also carries a warning. Across the country, about 2,000 acres of farm and ranchland disappear every day. Once that land is gone, it rarely comes back. California alone could lose nearly 800,000 acres by 2040.
