"Seaforth's got a good reputation for being generous but I'm still amazed at how much has come in," says Murray. "I think we're pretty well covered for all age groups. There are going to be some pretty happy kids," she says. The numbers are down slightly from last year's 56 families and 139 children. Murray says the donation of 25 boxes of food and toys put the bureau "over the top" for food donations. "They really came through for us," she says. Inside... Hitmen heading to nationals, again...

Interested farmers invited to meeting on proposed beef packing plant Dec. 21 Susan Hundertmark 41111031111110 Local farmers are being invited to look at a market feasibility study for a proposed beef packing plant in Brussels on Dec. 21. Planned for 10 am. at the Brussels arena, the meeting will discuss the need for a board of directors and investors in the plant, which will need $17 million for its first phase. "We'll be outlining the feasibility plan at the meeting and looking at things like the export of beef, the price of boxed beef in different countries and the best markets to target," says Huron East Mayor Joe Seili. Seili, with the help of $25,000 in seed money from Huron East council, has been researching the concept of a processing plant for Brussels since a visit to the area by federal Agriculture Minister Andy Mitchell last spring, when Mitchell said Canada needed 25,000 more head a week killed for the export market. Seili is aiming for a farmer - owned co-operative and the feasibility study looks at several different models in Ontario and the U.S. Under the federal government's Ruminant See BUSINESS, Page 8
