The Fire Department of North Huron would like to remind everyone to take extra precautions as the hot weather continues and harvest season gets underway.

Before heading to the fields, take a few minutes to remove any dust, chaff, and straw that has built up on your equipment. Make sure you have more than one fully charged fire extinguisher available, avoid taking low clearance vehicles such as pickup trucks into dry fields, and never discard cigarette butts in or near fields.

A few minutes of preventative maintenance can go a long way toward preventing a fire and avoiding costly damage.

Extreme heat can cause fires to spread rapidly. If a fire starts, leave the area immediately and call 911. Equipment can be replaced. People cannot.

Stay safe

Last week, the Huron County Federation of Agriculture hosted its annual MP/MPP Forum with Huron-Bruce MP Ben Lobb and MPP Lisa Thompson in Clinton. While local politicians, planners and farm commodity group leaders all had their turn to trumpet their successes and voice their concerns, one issue kept coming up: the importance of free trade. Read the full story in this week's issue of The Citizen or on our website.

As of the 2021 census, Huron County had 2,564 farms with 681,476 acres of farmland. The agriculture sector employed 4,205 people in Huron County, representing 13.8 percent of the county’s workforce and 6.9 percent of the total population.

And that doesn't take into account the wider agri-food sector in Huron county which accounts for 23 percent of the workforce and 11.4 percent of the entire population, not including the countless jobs and revenue that agriculture supports in the banking, service, transportation, construction, and other industries.

And we are delighted to have the Huron County Federation of Agriculture joining us as a Planter sponsor at our Farmer's Breakfast on Friday, helping bring an MRI machine to Huron County.
