Local tree planter
Huron County’s Clean Water Project has helped county residents and community groups complete more than 1,800 water-quality projects over the past ten years. Stu Steckle, of the Zurich area, is one of more than a thousand landowners who have done projects on their properties with county grants to help make these improvements possible. As part of a series of articles about local landowners doing water-quality projects in Huron County, Stu
was visited on an unseasonably warm December day. He was asked by us to share why he has planted hundreds of trees on his property through four planting projects.

Students actively brainstorm solutions to challenges at workshop
Twenty-five local secondary school students learned about energy efficiency in agriculture at a workshop near Exeter on December 16. The students are studying agricultural technology or energy as part of the Specialist High Skills Major program at St. Anne’s Catholic Secondary School in Clinton. They attended the workshop at Huron Tractor north of Exeter. The students did not just sit in a classroom listening. They worked in five groups to come up with their own actions to improve energy efficiency at farm operations. The students formed very different options to answer the challenge.
