The match in Grey County this year gives us a chance to mark the achievements of a number of farm groups, rural organizations, and individuals, from those directly involved in the IPM to those who have worked so hard throughout the years to make Grey a remarkable county. It is also a pleasure to introduce Mary -Lou Weiser Hamilton, county editor for this special issue, who is well known to Grey County and at The Rural Voice, to which she has contributed her writing and agricultural experience for the past half dozen years. MARY -LOU WEISER-HAMILTON County Editor Mary -Lou Weiser -Hamilton, county editor and chief con- tributor to this special IPM issue, operates a 150 -acre cow/ calf herd and sow-weaner farm in Normanby Township, Grey County with her husband William. They have a 14 - month -old son, Jonathan. A member of Junior Farmers for 13 years, she met William in Northern Ireland on a Junior Farmer exchange. One year later (coincidentally?) he came to Canada on similar exchange. Mary -Lou also participated in the 1 lth International Conference for the Promotion of Rural Youth which was held in Germany in 1982. There she met delegates from 44 developing countries. In 1984, she returned to the conference as a tutor. A member of the Big Sisters Association, she is also a graduate of the photography program at Conestoga College. Mary -Lou is a member of the Publicity Committee for the Inter- national Plowing Match in Grey. 4 GREY COUNTY PLOWING MATCH EDITION
