Two new dairy facilities have been proposed for Jo Daviess County, and would be located one mile west of Nora. A.J. Bos, Bakersfield, Cal., has proposed building the two 6,850-head facilities, under the name Tradition Family Dairies. Bos’ California dairies are known as Bos Maple Dairy.

Bos, along with Nic Anderson of the Illinois Livestock Business Development Group and a Peoria-based engineering firm representative, recently held a meeting in the Nora area for local residents.
