About Us
Farms for Our Future is a coalition of local businesses, farmers and families who support growth for agriculture in the Midwest, including Tradition Family Dairy and its plans to create economic opportunity in our Northwest Illinois communities.
The dairy dollar turns over in a community 8 to 9 times, from feed for cows to sale of milk and the dollars generated for local businesses. Jo Daviess County stands to gain hundreds of construction jobs and at least 40 permanent jobs. Local suppliers and services will increase their bottom line as they provide feed, fuel and equipment to Tradition Family Dairy.
Tax revenues generated by Tradition Family Dairy will support public safety, business development, roads and maintenance throughout the area. Our local schools will gain hundreds of thousands in new funds to support education for our children. Tourism businesses will be boosted.
Tradition Family Dairy will operate under the latest environmental and safety standards. The dairy will be powered entirely by green energy generated and developed on site.
Farms ARE our future. If opponents succeed in blocking Tradition Family Dairy from investing in our area, the future of farming in our state and our community is at stake.
