The Rural Voice, 1999-07, Page 5Cover
Ron and Barbara Bennett of Paisley spent most
of two decades trying to create a new crop for
area farmers: nuts. Just when their venture
seemed on the verge of success they were hit
by deadly
eastern filbert
blight. Now
their hope is
that a few of
their 2700 trees
may have
resistance to
the blight and
might pave the
way for
establishing a
nut industry in
Ontario.
