County Outlook Flags Recreation Plan and Beef Industry Growth
The Department of Conservation proposes an 8000 acre Plum River reservoir area from 10 miles south of Savanna to Galena, sees top potential as a national recreation site. Northern Illinois beef cattle could expand with Carroll and Jo Daviess counties hosting thousands of cattle, while many farms switch dairy to beef stock. Upcoming events include beef school at Elizabeth and multiple agriculture and home economics programs across the region. Community meetings aim to discuss crop varieties, fertilization, tillage, weed and insect control, and related research.
