IPM committee names beautification winners While “Huron Shines in ’99’’ is the slogan for this year’s International Plowing Match, to be held next month, there has already been much shining polishing, sprucing and brightening across the county. The Huron County Beautification Competition results were announced last week. “I don’t envy the task the judges had to do,” said Jane Muegee of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, who was master of ceremonies at the Aug. 19 banquet that honoured the contestants and awarded the beautification winners. There were 113 entries in eight categories with 10 judges from the Master Gardeners of Ontario taking a close look at the homes and farms that took part in the competition. Judges visited each location and photographs were also taken as part of the judging process. Before and after pictures were used to help judge the improvements made. At the banquet, slides were shown of each entry before the winners were announced. Winners were: Farm gateway First - Deb and Les Falconer, RR 5, Clinton; Second - Larry and Louise Memer, RR 3, Zurich; Harvest time means long hours for farmers.
