As of an hour ago, no arrests had been made at Occupy the Farm, the agricultural encampment set up more than two weeks ago at Gill Tract, a university-owned parcel of land at the intersection of Marin and San Pablo Avenues. But a raid may be imminent. Occupiers received dispersal notices and a threat of “chemical agents” at around 6:30 a.m. this morning. They say that UC police also brought a bulldozer to raze the farm and concrete barriers to inhibit vehicle access to the property. Police say that time has run out for the 200 urban farmers to leave voluntarily, and at this point, UC Berkeley’s College of Natural Resources needs the land for research.
