McGavin
The late Gordon McGavin
wits recently inducted into
the Ontario Agricultural Hall
of Fame near Milton.
"Gordon McGavin believed
in farm people, good plow-
ing, soil conservation and
agricultural education," notes
fro the Hall of Fame state.
Alia businessman he started
a Cockshutt dealership and
livestock shipping business
on the home farm in Huron
County. Under his leadership
the business grew to employ
22 people.
"Gordon was particularly
active in competitive plowing
and in the Ontario Plowmen's
Association. He served as a
Director of the OPA for many
years and as president for
four. He was named champi-
on plowman at the
International Plowing Match
in 1926 and in 1958 managed
the Canadian team at the
World Plowing Match in
West Germany. It can be said
that his wise counsel, his
enthusiasm and his generosi-
ty were instrumental in the
growth and expansion of both
the OPA and the International
Plowing Match and Farm
Machinery Show."
Born in 1905, he died in
1976. Among many accom-
plishments he was a member
of the Seaforth District High
School board for several
years. During his time, agri-
culture was introduced to the

Brussels and Seaforth Lions
Clubs, Huron County Soil
and Crop Improvement
Association and'was respon-
sible for the first 4-H Tractor

"A man of great integrity.
Gordon McGavin's warm
personality and sense of
humour touched the lives of
all those he met," notes the
Hall of Fame.
