Pullen helps Huron Study Former Huron Ag Rep has been brought on board as a consultant on the agricultural economy for the Huron County Study, county coun­ cil was told at its Feb. 7 meeting. Zurich Reeve Robert Fisher questioned the hiring of Mr. Pullen for the study. He wondered if a study into agriculture was neces­ sary. But Nigel Bellchamber, county clerk-administrator said the Huron study is to set up long-term goals for the county’s structure. To know what Huron County will be like 25 to 30 years from now you have to make certain assumptions about what the economy will be like in the future. Since agriculture plays such a large part in the county it’s important to have as much reliable information as possible, he said.

Lionel Wilder, Reeve of Hay said given Mr. Pullen’s qualifications and history in agriculture in Huron he was the right man for the county’s job. He said he was very impressed with Mr. Pullen’s pre­ sentation. “I don’t think we could have chosen a better man. We have to go out and find the information from the best people we have in the county.” Goderich Township Reeve Grant Stirling predicted that “if the trend keeps up in 10 years there’ll be just a few old senior citizens doddling around Huron County.” Free trade with Mexico would be one more nail in the coffin of the local economy, he predicted, mentioning the closing of Schaeffer Pen in Goderich as well as plant closings at Wingham.
