Above, Huron's representative on the Ontario Plowmen's Association Neil McGavin and Huron President Paul Betties congratu- late Earl Becker. At right is John Becker of Dashwood who has participated in a number of IPM's. HayTownship 1999 IPM Dashwood - It took the site com- mittee of the Ontario Plowmen's Association almost two hours to de- cide where the 1999 International Plowing Match would be held in Huron county. The news was good for Hay township farmer Earl Becker and his wife Bonnie and son Michael. It will be held on their farms at Lots 4 and 5 on Concession 13 of Hay township. The location is one mile north of Dashwood on the Bronson Line which is a paved road. In making the announcement, Huron's representative on the Onta- rio Plowmen's Association Neil McGavin said a number of other sites were in contention. Placing second was Joe Semple's Grey township farm in the Brussells area. Also in the running were two loca- tions in the Grand Bend area. The geographical location of the Becker farm was one of the reasons for the decision. McGavin added, Denfield livestock sales DENFIELD - The market at Denfield traded under pressure at 2.00 cwt. lower on all classes of fed cattle. Cows sold active at steady prices. Stockers sold lower and weiner pigs higher. Veal a little stronger. 420 cattle and 210 pigs on offer. Mac Parker, Watford, sold 5 steers ave. wt. 1202 lbs., ave. price 84.58.

Also, the availability of accommo- dation was taken into consideration with Grand Bend, Exeter, Bayfield and Goderich not far away." 'McGavin concluded, " The exec- utive also probably leaned to the Becker site because the south part of the county has yet to be host for the IPM while the north has had the popular event on three previous oc- casions." At the recent Huron county plow- ing match only a few hours after hearing the announcement, Earl Becker said, "We can't describe our feelings. It's a tremendous honor. Even the neighbours are excited." x}� 1 NH pH tri 1w 9 1 White Tractorg $ mot 1NANCING Rates starting at ook Take advantage of the best deals of the year.
