Tulare County has some of the richest agricultural land in the world. It should be obvious that we need to protect it for future generations of farmers and consumers. We also have some marginal land, land which is not the best and can only support limited agricultural endeavors. The Yokhol Valley Ranch project states it will be locating on precisely that type of land. There is no doubt the counties population will continue to increase, it is estimated nearly one million people will live in our county by 2050. No project large or small can be planned without addressing the issues of water, air quality and infrastructure, how the Yokhol Valley project affects each of these is still in question. If theses issues can be satisfactorily addressed I would support a project of this nature.
