The Region - News from Feb. 14, 1986

San Bernardino County planning commissioners voted to postpone until September action on a request by property owners in the northern part of the 17,000-acre “dairylands” agricultural preserve, southeast of Chino, to allow them to withdraw from the preserve so that they can sell their valuable land to real estate developers. After hearing testimony from dairy operators who want to sell and from those who do not, the commission decided to delay a decision until studies of water quality, drainage problems and soil conditions in the area have been completed. The preserve contains more than 200 dairies and 200,000 cows and produces much of Southern California’s milk supply.
