Comments from the councillors present showed there are divisions on just how much financial support Brussels should be contributing toward the recreation operations. Councillor Ruth Sauve asked for more information on the number of householdsinMorris, Grey and Brussels. She had the feeling, she said, that on a per-household basis, Brussels residents are pay­ ing more in taxes toward recreation than people in the townships which have higher populations. The townships, in feeling that Brussels should be contributing more to the operation of local recreation facilities, are using the premise that everybody in Brus­ sels uses the facilities such as the BMG Community Centre but people in the village are older on the whole and may use the arena less than younger, rural families, she said. Councillor Betty Graber, the village’s representative on the recreation committee said Brus­ sels gets the benefit of the additional business the facilities bring. * ‘It’s here they stop and buy the milk (while they’re on the way to the arena)”, she said. Councillor Neil McDonald said the excellent recreation facilities helped increase land values in Brussels. “The recreation facili­ ties we have are second to none,” he said. “We’re well looked after sportswise.” Councillor Sauve agreed but said that Brussels is smaller than the townships in population but is trying to do a lot more in terms of providing recreation. The proposed contributions from the municipalities. Councillor Graber said, are $10,000 from Brussels, $8,000 from Grey and $4,000 from Morris, up from $8,000, $7,000 and $3,000 respec­ tively lastyear. Morris had last year pulled back from its original pledge of $4,000 when it had to help pay for expensive repairs at the Bly th and District arena. “I suggest we play a wait-and- see game and see if they’re going to get in the ball game,” Reeve Gordon Workman said. He assur­ ed Councillor Graber that the village wasn’t likely togive any less for recreation this year but that its decision whether to give more might hang on how co-operative the other municipalities were in their support. Council agreed to leave its final decision to the January meeting. Morris Clerk-Treasurer Nancy Michie indicated Tuesday morning that Morris has agreed to its $4,000 allocation for 1988.

The Huron County Federation of Agriculture is holding its organiza­ tional meeting tonight (Wednes­ day) in the Clinton Public School, starting at 8:45 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend this meeting, at which committee reports and a report of the OFA convention will be presented. HCFA committees meet at 8 p.m., justprio.to the open session. BY BRIAN HALL In these times of mountainous surpluses, the central problem for most agricultural products is not to produce more, but to sell it better. It would be nice if there was a single formula that could be used to price a crop. The formula could tell us when to sell, which would be at the highest price for the year. However, it is not that simple, and instead we must understand the marketing tools available to us and use them in marketing our crop. As individuals we have a limited access to market information and limited time in which to access that information. In order to meet the challenge of learning the market, some farmers have organized a marketing club. The basic idea is that as a group farmers can achieve what has proven to be difficult for the individual. The clubs are usually small and informal producer groups that are formed to improve member understanding of market­ ing tools, information, and meth­ ods, and do this at much less cost to the individual than would other­ wise be the case. Marketing clubs are not new. Several have been operating in Huron County and other areas for several years now. A meeting for producers interested in forming a marketing club will be held on Wednesday, December 9, at 1:30 p.m. in the Clinton O.M.A.F. Board Room. Initially, a Club for “Central Huron” will be discuss­ ed. If enough producers in atten­ dance from other areas of the county are interested, a local club could be formed. Producers who are interested in joining a club, may leave their name at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food office in Clinton. The club membership will be limited to 20 members. For further information, contact the OMAF office in Clinton (482-3428 or 1-800-265-5170).
