Adrian Vos of Blyth, a member of the property committee of the Huron Federation of Agriculture told directors of the Federation Thursday that the Huron and Bruce Federations through their property com- mittees have met with all far- mers in the path of the proposed high-voltage line except those in Hullett township and there has been complete agreement on setting up a negotiating com- mittee to fight for the best possible deal for farmers. The negotiating committee will be chaired by Burton flodgins, president of the Bruce Federation of Agriculture. The Huron Federation agreed to supply money to help the committee do its job. Dave McCallum of Turnberry said farmers who will be affected in that area have already chipped in to a fund to support the com- mittee's work and the Turnberry Township Federation of Agriculture is also giving financial support. He said the farmers feel that since Ontario Hydro is hiring specialists to talk to farmers about the line, they should have specialists who can talk back. With good financial backing, he said, the committee can get these people.
