PREAMBLE
The filing of this Schedule 13D is not, and should not be

Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This statement relates to shares of the Common Stock, $0.00
par value (the "Shares") of Cadiz Land Co., Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"). The principal executive offices of
the Company are located at 10535 Foothill Boulevard, Suite 150,
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730-3843.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2 is amended as follows:
This statement is being filed by FMR Corp., a Massachusetts
Corporation ("FMR"). A separate Schedule 13D is being filed by
Fidelity International Limited, a Bermuda joint stock company
incorporated for an unlimited duration by private act of the
Bermuda legislature ("FIL"). FMR is a holding company one of
whose principal assets is the capital stock of a wholly-owned
subsidiary, Fidelity Management & Research Company ("Fidelity"),
which is also a Massachusetts corporation. Fidelity is an
investment advisor which is registered under Section 203 of the
Investment Advisors Act of 1940 and which provides investment
advisory services to more than 30 investment companies which are
registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940
and serves as investment advisor to certain other funds which are
generally offered to limited groups of investors (the "Fidelity
Funds"). Fidelity Management Trust Company ("FMTC"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. and a bank as defined in Section
3(a)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, serves as trustee
or managing agent for various private investment accounts,
primarily employee benefit plans and serves as investment adviser
to certain other funds which are generally offered to limited
groups of investors (the "Accounts"). Various directly or
indirectly held subsidiaries of FMR are also engaged in
investment management, venture capital asset management,
securities brokerage, transfer and shareholder servicing and real
estate development. The principal offices of FMR, Fidelity, and
FMTC are located at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02109.
FIL is an investment adviser which provides investment
advisory and management services to a number of non-U.S.
investment companies or instrument trusts (the "International
Funds") and certain institutional investors. Prior to June 30,
1980, FIL was a majority-owned subsidiary of Fidelity. On that
date, the shares of FIL held by Fidelity were distributed, as a
dividend, to the shareholders of FMR. FIL currently operates as
an entity independent of FMR and Fidelity, with certain common
shareholders. The International Funds and FIL's other clients,
with the exception of Fidelity and an affiliate of Fidelity, are
non-U.S. entities. Various foreign-based subsidiaries of FIL are
also engaged in investment management. The principal office of
FIL is located at Pembroke Hall, 42 Crow Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda.
Members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the
predominant owners of Class B shares of common stock of FMR
representing approximately 49% of the voting power of FMR. Mr.
Johnson 3d owns 12.0% and Abigail Johnson owns 24.5% of the
aggregate outstanding voting stock of FMR. Mr. Johnson 3d is the
Chairman of FMR. The Johnson family group and all other Class B
shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement
under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with
the majority vote of Class B shares. Accordingly, through their
ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the
shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may
be deemed, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR. The business address and
principal occupation of Mr. Johnson 3d is set forth in Schedule A
hereto.
In addition, a partnership controlled by Mr. Johnson and
members of his family own shares of FIL voting stock with the
right to cast approximately 47.22% of the total votes which may
be cast by all holders of FIL voting stock. Mr. Johnson 3d is
Chairman of FMR and FIL. FMR and FIL are separate and
independent corporate entities. FMR and FIL are managed
independently and their boards of Directors are generally
composed of different individuals. Their investment decisions
are made independently, and clients are different organizations.
The business address and principal occupation of Mr. Johnson 3d
is set forth in Schedule A hereto.
The Shares to which this statement relates are owned
directly by one of the Fidelity Funds, one of the Accounts, and
by Fidelity International Limited, through its subsidiaries and
affiliates.
FMR and FIL are of the view that they are not acting as a
"group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") and that they are not
otherwise required to attribute to each other the "beneficial
ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by the other
corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under
the 1934 Act. Therefore, they are of the view that the Shares
held by the other corporations need not be aggregated for
purposes of Section 13(d). However, FMR is making this filing on
a voluntary basis as if all of the Shares are beneficially owned
by FMR and FIL on a joint basis.
The name, residence or business address, principal
occupation or employment and citizenship of each of the executive
officers and directors of FMR are set forth in Schedule A hereto.
Within the past five years, none of the persons named in
this Item 2 or listed on Schedule A has been convicted in any
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or has been a party to any civil proceeding and as
a result thereof was or is subject to any judgment, decree or
final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to federal or state securities laws
or finding any violations with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is amended as follows:
The Fidelity Funds which own or owned Shares purchased in
the aggregate 273,600 Shares for cash in the amount of
approximately $1,053,125, including brokerage commissions. The
Fidelity Funds used their own assets in making such purchase and
no part of the purchase price is represented by borrowed funds.
Proceeds from 273,600 Shares sold aggregated approximately
$772,767. The attached Schedule B sets forth Shares purchased
and/or sold since October 4, 1996.
The Accounts of FMTC which own or owned Shares purchased in
the aggregate 61,700 Shares for cash in the amount of
approximately $341,854, including brokerage commissions. The
Accounts used their own assets in making such purchase and no
part of the purchase price is represented by borrowed funds.
Proceeds from 54,300 Shares sold aggregated approximately
$233,775. The attached Schedule B sets forth Shares purchased
and/or sold since October 4, 1996.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is amended as follows:
The purpose of Fidelity and FMTC in having the Fidelity
Funds and the Accounts purchase Shares (see Item 5 below) is to
acquire an equity interest in the Company in pursuit of specified
investment objectives established by the Board of Trustees of the
Fidelity Funds and by the investors in the Accounts.
Fidelity and FMTC, respectively, may continue to have the
Fidelity Funds and the Accounts purchase Shares subject to a
number of factors, including, among others, the availability of
Shares of sale at what they consider to be reasonable prices and
other investment opportunities that may be available to the
Fidelity Funds and Accounts.
Fidelity and FMTC, respectively, intend to review
continuously the equity position of the Fidelity Funds and
Accounts in the Company. Depending upon future evaluations of
the business prospects of the Company and upon other
developments, including, but not limited to, general economic and
business conditions and money market and stock market conditions,
Fidelity may determine to cease making additional purchases of
Shares or to increase or decrease the equity interest in the
Company by acquiring additional Shares, or by disposing of all or
a portion of the Shares.
Neither Fidelity nor FMTC has any present plan or proposal
which relates to or would result in (i) an extraordinary
corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization,
liquidation, or sale of transfer of a material amount of assets
involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any change
in the Company's present Board of Directors or management, (iii)
any material changes in the Company's present capitalization or
dividend policy or any other material change in the Company's
business or corporate structure, (iv) any change in the Company's
charter or by-laws, or (v) the Company's common stock becoming
eligible for termination of its registration pursuant to Section
12(g)(4) of the 1934 Act.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.
Item 5 is amended as follows:
Although Item 5 assumes that FMR, Fidelity, FMTC, FASST, and
FIL beneficially own all 1,940,667 Shares, reference is made to
Item 2 for a disclaimer of beneficial ownership with respect to
the securities which are "beneficially owned" by the other
corporations.
(a) FMR beneficially owns, through Fidelity, as investment
advisor to the Fidelity Funds, 47,600 Shares, or approximately
0.21% of the outstanding Shares of the Company, and through FMTC,
the managing agent for the Accounts, 7,400 Shares, or
approximately 0.03% of the outstanding Shares of the Company.
FIL beneficially owns, as investment advisor to the International
Funds, 1,885,667 Shares, or approximately 8.50% of the
outstanding Shares of the Company. Neither FMR, Fidelity, FMTC,
nor any of its affiliates nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, any
of the persons named in Schedule A hereto, beneficially owns any
other Shares. The combined holdings of FMR, Fidelity, FMTC, and
FIL are 1,940,667 Shares, or approximately 8.74% of the
outstanding Shares of the Company.
(b) FMR, through is control of Fidelity, investment advisor
to the Fidelity Funds, and the Funds each has sole power to
dispose of the Shares. Neither FMR nor Mr. Johnson has the sole
power to vote or direct the voting of the 47,600 Shares owned
directly by the Fidelity Funds, which power resides with the
Funds' Boards of Trustees. Fidelity carries out the voting of
the Shares under written guidelines established by the Funds'
Board of Trustees. FMR, through its control of FMTC, investment
manager to the Accounts, and the Accounts each has sole
dispositive power over 7,400 Shares and sole power to vote or to
direct the voting of 7,400 Shares, and no power to vote or to
direct the voting of 0 Shares owned by the Accounts.
(c) Except as set forth in Schedule B, neither FMR, or any
of its affiliates, nor, to the best knowledge of FMR, any of the
persons named in Schedule A hereto has effected any transaction
in Shares during the past sixty (60) days.
Item 6. Contract, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Neither FMR nor any of its affiliates nor, to the best
knowledge of FMR, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto
has any joint venture, finder's fee, or other contract or
arrangement with any person with respect to any securities of the
Company.
The Funds and Accounts may from time to time own debt
securities issued by the Company or its direct or indirect
subsidiaries, and may from time to time purchase and/or sell such
debt securities.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
Not Applicable.
This statement speaks as of its date, and no inference
should be drawn that no change has occurred in the facts set
forth herein after the date hereof.
