On Friday, March 4 Huron
OPP assisted by the Western
Region Drug Enforcement
Section executed a drug
search warrant at a residence
on Centennial Road in Huron
East.
This residence is between
Brucefield and Seaforth.
Officers searched a
residence and a driving shed
located on the property
behind the home at
approximately 12:45 p.m.
They found a quantity of
processed marijuana in the
residence along with a small
amount of cannabis resin.
Over half of the driving shed
had been converted to an
indoor marijuana grow
operation.
Officers seized 449 mature
plants.
In total 449 marijuana
plants, two kilos of processed
marijuana and a little
cannabis resin valued at
$483,255 were seized along
with $50,000 worth of
growing equipment. One of
the items used in the grow
operation was a large
industrial type diesel
generator.
Two people were taken into
custody later that day and
held for bail hearing.
A 55 year-old-woman and
her 56-year-old husband have
been charged with possession
for the purpose of trafficking,
production of a controlled
substance and possession of a
controlled substance.

hWe believe agriculture
deserves to be recognized’Point. Click. It's that quick!
Continued from page 4
ensure farmers get the dollars
when they are needed. Right
now our governments are
making payments for crops
grown two years ago. We
don’t believe any business
can be expected to wait that
long to realize the proper
value for its products.
Ontario agriculture
supports 60,000 families in
primary production, and the
province’s agri-food industry
provides jobs for 650,000
people. The Ontario
government can’t stand by
and watch all of this wither
and die. It needs to invest in
agriculture now to save the
lives and future of residents of
rural Ontario.
Recent investments by the
province in the automotive
and tourism sectors prove
there is money to be invested
when the will exists. The One
Voice March made it
abundantly clear the
provincial government must
find the will and the money to
invest in Ontario agriculture.
Once that will is expressed,
Ontario farmers involved in
the One Voice March will be
lined up to support the
province when it goes to the
federal government for its
share of the necessary
funding.
We believe agriculture
deserves to be recognized,
not as an expense, but as an
investment in rural
communities.
