Letter to the Editor:
I read in the Citizen paper that the theme of
the Huron County tent at the IPM will be Huron
Heritage. What a great way to honour our
Huron pioneers. We are so proud of our pioneer
families, Storey, Young, Dale, Snell, McIntosh,
McCloud, Riley, Dempsey, McClure and Flynn.
These families came from Scotland, Ire-
land, and England, and then walked from
Canada's east coast, through the bush, car-
rying all their worldly possessions, to find
their claim of land in McKillop and Hullett
Townships in the 1850's. They had to clear
minimum acreage and build a habitable
dwelling within a specific time limit to
obtain their letter patent and land deed,
using only the resources that they brought
with them. Our ancestors prospered, cleared
more land and helped make Huron County,
the agricultural engine that it is today, while
preserving some of the best soil and clean-
est air and water in the world.
Comparing Huron, Perth, Oxford and Mid-
dlesex Counties, I Iuron County is 1st in chick-
ens
hickens and swine production, turkeys 2nd and
3rd with cattle and sheep. In crops Huron is 1st
in soys, white beans and com. We are second
in winter wheat (land use# of hectares).
Regarding trees and wetland Huron is 2nd. We
do not need the I-Iuron Natural Heritage Plan
when Huron County already exceeds many
other counties. We congratulate all councils of
Huron County for honouring our Huron agri-
cultural pioneers at the Huron IPM 2017.
