Bill Wallace of Seaforth was acclaimed to his second term as president of the Huron County Fed- eration of Agriculture at the group's annual meeting in Seaforth Friday night. Mr. Wallace, in looking back at the activities of the past year, high- lighted the Huron Emergency Agricultural Response Team (HEART) as an example of how the Federation can work to solve problems. HEART, he said, was the idea of one member, John Van Beers of Blyth who was concerned about the effect of the crop disaster of 1992 on rural families. He brought his concern to a directors' meeting of the Federation and the assistance of other groups was sought. A grant was received from Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and grants of up to $1000 for up to two months was provided to farm fami- lies who normally wouldn't qualify for other assistance. In all, nine families were helped. The project was an example of how individual Federation mem- bers could make things happen with the help of the full group, he said. Mr. Wallace expressed concern with the closing of the Veterinary Service Laboratory at Huron Park as part of the Centralia College clo- sure. The lab is to be moved to Ridgetown College where money will still have to be spent to run the lab. Ridgetown, however, is in an area of mostly cash crops while Huron Park was in an area of the highest animal-agriculture popula- tion in the province. He called for more participation on the part of members, pointing to one meeting this year where there were more guest speakers than members. The problem with people not get- ting involved was illustrated by the failure to find anyone who would stand for the office of first vice- president of the Federation. Four people were nominated but each declined.There were no further nominations when nominations were re-opened. The board of directors will attempt to select a vice-president from among their number later. Murtin Brock was acclaimed as second vice-president. Fred Hern, Gerald Johns, Henry Boot, Tom Hayter, Jim Thompson, Steven Thompson and Barry Elliott were named directors at large. follows: Grand Champion: David Gratix, Waubaushene - Five Limo heifers averaging 1168 lbs. sold for $118.50 purchased by Norwich Packers.

"For corn, soybeans and wnite beans, this payment will bring the total amount paid to date to 75 per cent of the expected total payment," said Mr. Mayer. "For winter wheat, spring wheat, canola, spring grains and coloured beans, this will be the final payment." The first cheques are expected to be mailed in mid-October. "A total of approximately $35.7 million in payments will help enrolled Ontario producers to get a fair value for their crops and greatly assist in easing their cash flow," said Buchanan. "This will bring the total payments issued to farmers for the 1992-93 crop year to $166.7 million."

Mrs. McIntosh called the award "a lovely surprise" and said it takes teamwork to be involved in activi- ties off the farm and the work of their family allowed the couple to be involved in so many activities. Much of the time those activities seemed more like fun than work, she said. Her husband spoke of the number of people they had met through their work for farm organizations and thanked everyone who had helped in getting things done.
