Extolls virtues of Huron,

By Don Pullen
Huron Agriculture'
Representative
Huron County - "the bread
basket of Ontario" this is the
:,appropriate maxim" which
• appears on the front page bf
an attractive pro.motional
,. folder inviting. visitors to the
International Plowing Match
and Farm Macninery Show
near Wingham in 1978.
Among Ontario counties,
Huron is the leader with over
60b,tl00 acres of improved
farm land. In fact, close to 9.0
percent of our acreage is
classified in the top three
classes according to the
Canada' Land Inventory.
These lands are -very suitable
for the growing . of a wide
• range of crops with few, if
' any, limitations.
Huron ranks first in
v
Says county is "leader in many ways.
poultry, cattle marketing,
barley, mixed grain, ensilage
corn, rutabaga and white
bean production. Ow county
is second in,cattle value, and
pig population and third in
milk production and total
cattle population.
It's quite an impressive
record! ,.
The people of Huron County
must be proud to host the
International Plowing Match
one of the largest outdoor
agricultural events in the
world: This year, over 20.0,000
visitors were attracted to
- Bruce County near Walkerton
where they participated • in
the most successful Match
ever held.- Certainly, the
committees in. charge' of. the
Match deserve. much credit
for their hospitality, quality
of exhibit's and organizational
abilities.
- The 1978 Plowing Match
will be staged in our own
Morris Township, just east of
Wingham on •the Jim Arm-
strong and adjoining 'farms.
More than •1000 acres have
been reserved for pia -vying
competitions, parking, field '•
,crdp demonstrations and
other "Match activities.
"Tented City", featurjng
more than 400 exhibitors, will•
occupy over 100,aci'es. There
will be "something for
everyone".;
The Huron Extension team
located - at the Ag'r'icultural
office; Clinton, recognizes the
importance of our highly
di -versified rural county to the
agricultural economy.
Accordingly, staff respon-
sibilities in farm
management are divided into
several priority categories •in
crop and livestock

money and other available
resources to meet these
wants.
