Many of the new Canadians were sponsored by local farmers and businesses who employed the immigrants for a year's term. In the Clinton area, the old Canada Packers poultry plant was a major sponsor. Here boys and girls, women and men worked. The girls made 65 cents and hour and men made 75 cents. Families would pool their wages together in an effort to buy land. The Greidanus family worked at the poultry plant and . saw their dream become a reality., Daughter, Mrs. Gary Haak of Clinton recalled that after one year, the 'family of 13 saved enough money to purchase a farm. Today, the Dutch -Canadians are well respected neighbors and friends in the local communities. Their determination and hard work is clearly evident in their successful farms, businesses and community efforts. More than 40 years ago the future of many` Dutch families looked dim. Today they are proud Canadians who wholeheartedly support the theory that Canada offered them opportunity, growth and freedom.
