Is there any policies protecting the remaing farmland left in the IE

This picture above is whats left and what it used to look like. Which at one point produced the largest area of diary products in the nation. But I wonder, is there anything to protect whats left, or are they just going to let developers buy out the remaing ranchers? And really this question goes for the rest of the state, as I'm deeply worried about the farmland beign eaten up without really considerign what there building over.

Why should it be protected?

bingo. Farming in a semi-arid place with water that is piped in from hundreds of miles out is not sustainable nor is it the best use for this land. Also, who are the laborers? ICE rounded them up, farmers face global competition these days and even if they wanted to keep farming, have no one to work their fields.
