Thomas Buonarati and wife, Bernice, clean, grade and package eggs using egg washer and grader Buonarate (sic) designed and built himself. Buonaratis have 5,000 white leghorn layers on two-acre Sylmar ranch they have run for seven years. Buonarati is member of Los Angeles County Farm Bureau and San Fernando Valley Farm Center. Use of modern housing methods for poultry--one cage holding two layers--permits ranchers to go into business with limited acreage. Husband-wife teams are frequently sole personnel."; See images #00145762 through #00145767 for all photos in this series.
