Times were happier when Federal Agriculture Minister John Wise
visited Huron in February to talk to Huron County cattlemen in
Clinton. Later in the year he was back in the county to inspect crop
damage from six weeks of torrential rain.
Wheat shipments set record
Ontario Wheat handling at the
Goderich Elevators was a record
180,000 tonnes in 1986, breaking
last year’s record of 169,000
tonnes, according to the first half
interim financial statement releas
ed recently by President and Chief
Executive Officer George Parsons.
With The Great Lakes naviga
tion season entering its final few
weeks, the company has issued an
optimistic report on the success of
the 1986 shipping season locally.
Of the pre tax profit of $1,049,
687 being reported for the first six
months, $668,580 was generated
at Goderich, $370,072 was gener
ated at Port Colborne and $11,035
by Clinton Aviation Ltd., a small
subsidiary. Netincomesforthe
period of $545,687 or $1.63 per
share, compare with $447,052 or
$1.33 for the same period in 1985.

operation at Port Colborne has
performed well and slightly ahead
of target for the first two months at
least, said the report dated Nov.
19.
While wheat handling proved
profitable this year, the outlook for
corn is not so good.
“Canada’s corn price is just not
competitive in the limited world
markets and for the first year in
many, we may not export corn this
fall,’’ said Parsons’ report.
Parsons also noted that a union
workers strike at Thunder Bay did
not aversely affect the Goderich
Elevators and reports that the
union contract at Goderich was
settledfortwoyears at approxi
mately three per cent annually.
On January 1, Parsons will begin
a phased retirement. Concurrent
ly, James Eric Kirk, an Elevator
employee for nine years, will be
a good opportunity to gain ideas
and develop contacts.
The Huron Soil and Crop
Improvement Association has ar
ranged, with the Lucknow District
Co-op and Forest Travel Service, a
four-day bus trip to the farm show.
Cost is $225 which includes bus
travel, three nights accommoda
tion, two days at the farm show,
tractor pull and travel insurance.
