FEBRUARY 22ND. 2011
THE CITY OF IRVINE WAS NAMED SUCH, AS IT WAS LOCATED ON THE ORIGINAL IRVINE RANCH PROPERTY.
IN CELEBRATION OF THE CITIES FORTY-FORTH YEAR, THE IRVINE CITY COUNCIL DECIDED TO HONOR TWENTY TWO OF THE OLDEST IRVINE COMPANIES AT THEIR GENERAL COUNCIL MEETINGS.
ON THE FEBRUARY 22ND. IRVINE CITY COUNCIL MEETING THE FIRST OF THESE TWENTY TWO COMPANIES WAS PRESENT, AND ROGER AGUINAGA AND HIS FAMILY COMPANY AGUINAGA GREEN, INC., WERE RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE OLDEST COMPANIES IN THE CITY.
ROGER AGUINAGA – PRESIDENT OF AGIUNAGA GREEN, INC. SPOKE BRIEFLY OF EARLY BEGINNINGS WITH THE IRVINE COMPANY AND PROVISION OF FERTILIZER FOR THEIR CROPS.
WE ALWAYS KNEW IRVINE WOULD BE DEVELOPED, SAYS AGUINAGA, BUT ALSO KNEW IT WOUILD TAKE FIFTY YEARS OR BETTER – AND AS THE IRVINE COMPANY LOOKED TO HIGHER CASH CROPS SUCH AS CELERY, ASPARAGUS, AND TOMATOES (AS OPPOSED TO ORANGES, SUGAR BEETS - AND SILAGE THEY HAD GROWN FOR CATTLE), THEY NEEDED IMPROVED FARMING TECHNIQUES AND BETTER SOIL PREPARATION, MAINTENANCE, AND AMENDMENTS.
AGUINAGA PARTNERED WITH THE IRVINE COMPANY IN GRADUATING FROM THE EARLY MANURES USED IN THE PROCESS TO MULCHES AND FINALL TO THE HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED MIXES AND AMENDENTS SUPPLIED TODAY TO MANY OF OUR LOCAL CITIES AS WELL AS THEME PARKS SUCH AS DISNEYLAND.
