were $76. In 40 years they rose to 41019.
Titles have changed. We no longer see
innany small mixed farms, This is the age of
specialization. Alvin continued with mixed
fanning, but gradually expanded the dairy
herd, and limited his cattle to Registered
Holsteins. He was one of the first farmers in
the township to use a bulk milk storage and
shipping system. After selling the herd
gradually in the 1960s he put his dairy exper-
tise to use in buying Holsteins within Huron
County for export overseas. His cattle
travelled throughout the world - to England,
Africa, Mexico, USA, Italy, Spain, !Corea,
France and Portugal. For some time. now,
Alvin has been employed off the farm, work-
ing part-time for the Atlas Fur Tannery and
the Old Mill south of Blyth.
This too is a trend of the times. Although
Goderich Township is still considered rural,
and remains proud of its agricultural roots,
a higher percentage of Goderich Township
taxes are paid by incomes derived from non-
agricultural sources than from farm in-
comes. Fewer, than one-third of our
township homes are categorized as "farm
homes". One can but wonder what John
Donley would think about our way of life and
farming methods today, if he could but see!
