California Governor Jerry Brown is planning on taking 300 delta farms by eminent domain the build underground water tunnels.

The farmers are fighting this, but Brown told them they could take payment from the government for their land, but they had to give it up one way or another.

This is Agenda 21 at its best. If this really happens, we have had it. None of us are owners of our own land, and it could be taken from us at any time by eminent domain.

link:SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- State contractors have readied plans to acquire as many as 300 farms in the California delta by eminent domain to make room for a pair of massive, still-unapproved water tunnels proposed by Gov. Jerry Brown, according to documents obtained by opponents of the tunnels.

Farmers whose parcels were listed and mapped in the 160-page property-acquisition plan expressed dismay at the advanced planning for the project, which would build 30-mile-long tunnels in the delta formed by the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers.

"What really shocks is we're fighting this and we're hoping to win," said Richard Elliot, who grows cherries, pears and other crops on delta land farmed by his family since the 1860s. "To find out they're sitting in a room figuring out this eminent domain makes it sound like they're going to bully us ... and take what they want."
