However, -all eyes will not

Committee members 'have
decided to use IPM '99 -as an
opportunity to re -cap a
century of agriculture in
Huron. one of Ontario's
foremost agricultural,
producing counties.
"Our committee has chosen
to visit the years 1919 and
1'959. -as well as 1999. and
are working in' co-operation
with the Antique Equipment
Committee to actively
demonstrate farm
implements from these eras:

It seemed only right to close
out a century of farming with
'an active tribute to those
