Local farmers inducted to hall of fame MIDDLESEX — There will be three local inductees into the Middlesex County Agricultural Hall of Fame during an annu- al meeting and induction service today. Alex M. and John A. Stewart of Ailsa Craig were a hard working father and son team. They devoted their lives to the selection, production and distribution of high quality seed grain. These two men bred and produced small grains and achieved world recognition. They later went on to do the same with corn and soybean programs. Alex M. was the first president of the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association, a director and president of the Canadian Seed Growers Association and the first chairman of the Ontario Stockyards. John A. was a founding member of SeCan and was honoured by the Ontario Institute of Agrologists with their Distinguished Agrologist Award in 1970. Innovation and the production of quality seeds were the hallmarks of the Stewart name. Tom E. Robson, another local inductee, worked hard throughout his life as a farmer, livestock breeder, showman, judge, auctioneer and vocalist. Robson played a pivotal role in the development of his community and the Shorthorn breed of cattle in Canada. Robson joined the mili- tia, and by 1882 he had risen to the rank of Captain in the 26th Middlesex Battalion. In 1883 he was elected to London town- ship council, and became warden of Middlesex in 1891. He then served as a Conservative MPP. Tom was also widely sought after as a cattle judge and auction- eer in Ontario and in the United States.
