THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1987. PAGE 11.
Betty fl eft J and Murray Cardiff {centre] welcomed hundreds of guests like Aubrey Toll of RR 3, Bly th to the
Cardiff’s third annual New Year’s Day Levee at the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre on
January 1. An estimated 800 to 900 people flowed in and out of the centre throughout the afternoon and
enjoyed entertainment, food and drink, courtesy of the Huron-Bruce M.P.
The Huron County Crop Insur
ance Review Committee, headed
by John Van Beers of RR 1, Blyth,
held its second meeting on Mon
day, and now hopes to have a
concrete proposal to present to
farmers for discussion tonight
(Wednesday).
“We have a very active commit
tee, and I am pleased with what we
have done (so far), Mr. Van Beers
said.
He said his committee’s recom
mendations are a result of both the
14-man group’s own suggestions
for review, and those which have
been brought forward by a survey
conducted in the Rural Voice
magazine late last year. The
proposal will likely be presented at
the regular meeting of the county
Federation of Agriculture in Clin
ton on January 14.
The local review committee was
formed last October after a resolu
tion providing the format was
adopted at the annual meeting of
the HFA. Both levels of senior
government have promised a
review of the present crop insur
ance system, which many farmers
feel is inadequate, but no details
have yet been released.
The whole issue of crop insur
ance review was precipitated by
last fall’s heavy rains, which left
many Huron County farmers with
huge crop losses and inadequate or
no insurance.
