The new applications will be received on a first come, first serve basis, with total numbers limited by the availability of Huron County Funds. For those who have not been involved in the program, some of the eligible categories are: •CROP ROTATIONS (i.e. if you increase total forage acres) •CONSERVATION EQUIP MENT (rent or purchase) 3 vie for County title Three contestants will vie for the title of 1989-90 Huron County Dairy Princess at the competition this Saturday in the Blyth and District Community Centre.
