The second meeting of the
Brussels/Belgrave 4-H Club was
held on Tuesday, June 4 at the home
of leader Paul Coultes.
The members travelled to the Land
'0 Lakes Feed plant in Wingham.
Here everyone was given an
informative tour by plant supervisor
Mike Watson. Members saw how
feed was made, medicated, blended

here goes all over Ontario from
Windsor to the Quebec border.
Mr. Watson showed members the
control room where all information
is recorded, dated and entered into
reading logs so they know what was
made each day and what was in each
bag of feed.
They also had the chance to see the

is labelled before it leaves the
building. Some holding bags held as
