of grain onto the first
ocean vessel in the
Goderich „ harbor could
mean more money for
farmers, according to
George Parsons of the

vessel to be loaded with
corn at the Goderich
Harbor. The corn was
destined for Cuba and
according to Mr. Par-
sons,by directly loading
ocean vessels in
Goderich, "The corn will
get to its destination
quicker and could mean
more money for the
producer."
