While it is unlikely that the bales being gather are alfalfa, it is probably more of weed abatement cut, it should act as a reminder that there are still undeveloped patches within otherwise fully developed Elk Grove neighborhoods. We need to ask ourselves with these patches of undeveloped property still available, infill as some call them, and the 1,200-acres of Southeast Policy Area still in the planning stages, why are our city leaders hell bent on the annexing the proposed sphere of influence area?
Could that land not be used for agricultural uses and act as a buffer against further suburban sprawl?

There's too many people on Council and their contributors who will benefit from land development (e.g. realtors, developers, rural landowners, land use consultants, architects, engineers, police unions, business owners who don't realize that sprawl will leave them behind, chamber of commerce, public utilities, waste haulers, contractors...need I go on!).
Elk Grove, Proud Heritage, Bright Future!
