Since I live in one of the cities you mention I can say you are wrong. While it is true, there are is some build up along the highway, there is farm land just off the freeway.
I have farms all around me. The land between Highway 99 and Interstate 5 is almost all farm land. Except for in the larger cities I mentioned you will be hip deep in farms less then a mile away from the freeway.
So while I will agree with you, that urban sprawl is surrounding Sacramento, and there are homes along side parts of 99, for the most part it is still all farm land south of Manteca until you reach the grapevine.
