AgricultureBrussels Livestock reportFed steers and heifers sell higher this week Huron East council has directed its staff to enter into negotiations with the Huron County Federation of Agriculture about the potential lease renewal or sale of the federation’s office in Tuckersmith. The former Tuckersmith municipal office has served as the federation’s main officer for a number of years now. Federation President Wayne Black appeared before council at its May 3 meeting to negotiate a new lease and the possible division of costs for insulation for the building. Several councillors, however, suggested that the municipality sell the building to the federation after declaring it surplus. While there may be some hoops the municipality will have to jump through, the negotiation process will begin soon, leaving it open to either a renewal of the lease, a long-term lease or an outright sale. HCFA may purchase office from Huron East By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen
