Agricrews
working
in County
Agricrew has begun its program work-
ing on Huron County farm,,,, The program is
designed to help area farmers, as well as
providing summer employment for
students.
There are three crews working in Huron
Cpunty this year. Two of the crews are bas-
ed in Clintonj, and the third is based in the
Belgrave/Wingtiam area. This year's
foremen are Dave Wright of Clinton, Ken
Huff of Clinton and Paul Currie of Wingham.
Along with these foremen, each crew has
three other crew members who are all eager
to serve the farmers of Huron County. There
are also alternates to provide backup for
these crews. They will leave no stone un-
turned, weeds unpicked, or fences un-
painted, along with various other jobs.
So far, farmer response has been very
good. The crews have been booked up to the
20th of July,for the Clinton crews, and up to
the 16th for. the Wingham crew, but names
are still being taken in the case of a
cancellation.
The program finishes off on August 17, so
there is still time to get your name in for
those unfinished jobs. Fo'r booking an
:crew, or just gaining more information
on the program, contact Chris Robson at the
O M:.AF.F, offic e.in ClintOn, at 482-342&
