These warehouses were built in the early 1980's. They sat EMPTY for decades until business grew and they slowly began to be occupied. Warehouses and endless housing projects and shopping centers ruined the farmland. Was bound to happen. Surprised it didn't happen sooner than the 80's.

Ontario is the center of Southern California, and also easy to get to Las Vegas and Arizona, it made the area what it is today. Southern California has lost most all of its farmland, Cerritos was also Dairy farms, and they are long gone too. They all moved to Idaho.

Progress, eh ? At what cost ? The same thing happened in Santa Clara County, years ago. Prime farmland paved over.

It's sad but completely expected. I'm absolutely shocked that this article wasn't written in 2002 instead of 2022.

This article hits close as i grew up in chino living and working on a dairy as a kid. My grandparents also had dairies there. Both sides of my grandparents came from Holland in the 50's and moved to Artesia and Bellflower working on the dairies there for the people who sponsored them to come to the US. The post war development moved them from there to chino. My dads parents moved to northern ca in the 80's to start a dairy here. My parents left Chino in the late 90's to move up to northern ca to start a dairy. My mom's parents stayed in chino tell my grandma passed away in 2011 and my moms family sold the dairy. It was knocked it down and a warehouse was built on it. I can see the location in the satellite photo in the article. The dairy i lived on down there got knocked down and is in the flood basin area for Prado Dam. With the way things go it might be developed for incorporated into Eastvale. I am starting to see what happened to chino during the 90's and 2000's is now happening up here where i am at. Substitute dairies for fields and orchards with warehouses going up where i work and houses going up in the other area's. Traffic has gotten worse in the last 10 years with no major development in the highway systems here. I'm a rural guy, i think my time here might be close to saying farewell to CA.

The author of the article either conveniently didn't ask, or decided to leave it out.....but I'll bet Ms. May was or still is a smoker.

My house and land in S. Fontana was once ag. The house I live in was built in 1943, and the neighboring house we also bought was built in 1932. The soil on this property is extremely rich and fecund black soil, while the varieties of citrus, grapes, and figs I grow are top quality and grown with no soil amendments. The only naturally occurring soil in So Cal that compares is what they paved over when they developed Fountain Valley in OC.

Across the street, 13.4 acres of what underlies my place is currently being developed and will soon feature a 300k+ sf concrete tilt-up warehouse. A good number of homes and businesses were obliterated to make way.

It is what it is.
