Curiosity spurred by grading near intersection of Bolsa, Hwy. 156
The earth-moving project at the southeast corner of Highways 25 and 156, which has prompted calls of curiosity to the county planning department as well as local newspapers, is agricultural grading designed to increase the productivity of the land.
Joe Tonascia of Tonascia Farms said thin, uneven topsoil at the property necessitated the grading, which he anticipates will improve the efficiency of the land from between 10 to 15 percent.
“It ends up making it easier and cheaper to farm and it increases production because with the level ground you need less water inputs and you use less water,” Tonascia said.
Byron Turner, assistant director of the county planning department, said the project “sure has gotten everyone’s attention,” as it is located along a busy commuting corridor.
