the beans he said, but there
was still a fair stand of
beans.
Farmers reported some
sprouting and greening of
red kidney bean plants, but
like later beans, the plants
ripening later in the season
have not been as severely
affected.
Bob Down said that his
plans for third cut hay were
shelved because of the wet
weather.
Eric Kints, manager of
Huron Produce Ltd., said the
rain hasn't affected the
quality of rutabagas this
year. but has delayed the
harvest.
Rutabagas are better able
to stand the rain he said, but
will rot in the fields if left
too long in the wet.
"Could he bang -on today,
and wrong tomorrow," said
Bill Strong of trying to se-
cond guess weather and crop
conditions.
The operations manager of
the Hensall branch of Cook's
Mills said it was "too early
to determine how severe the

the new easement or the
drain would be built over the
original route, but as yet that
agreement has not been
received in writing, although
both Sprackman and his
lawyer have verbally agreed
to the change.
Noting that the agreement
had still not been received,
Councillor Bill Mickle
questioned at Tuesday
night's regular meeting how
long council would wait and
delay the start of the storm
drain project.
"We, could wait until the
snow flies and that will cost
(the drainage work) a lot
more money," he noted.
Mayor Shaw said he would
call the developer and advise
the town would start with the
original easement at the
beginning of next week
unless a new agreement is
received.
It was indicated that the
new easement would be to
the advantage of Hawleaf.

Support
farmers
Members of Exeter coun-
cil, as a group and in-
dividually, will be sending
letters to Prime Minister
Trudeau as part of a plan be-
ing initiated by the Huron
County Federation of
Agriculture.
The letter, endorsed by
council. Tuesday, asks
Trudeau what it is going to
take to make his govern-
ment realize that the high in-
terest policy is eroding the.
agricultural industry.
"The bankruptcies and
forced sales that have oc-
curred. and those that will
surely follow in the weeks to
come. should be a good in-
dication of what, or maybe
more important, who, will
grow the food needed for this
country."
The situation was cited as
a major crisis.
"Would it be asking too
much. as the person running
this country we live in, to
make it possible for primary
food producers to make a
living so that we can con-
tinue to provide food and
jobs for the nation? We must
have immediate action from
your government to save
what is, left of the
agricultural community."
