Jim and Brenda McIntosh are
donating $1 million to the University of Guelph for nutrition research.
They are prominent egg farmers
who have turned the farm over to their son,
Ross.
Jim was clerk-treasurer for
the former Tuckersmith Township, a director of the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture and of the Egg Farmers of Ontario marketing board.
Brenda was deputy clerk with
the municipality, has served on the Farm Debt Review Board and the Farm Credit
Canada Advisory Board and as president of the Huron County Federation of
Agriculture.
Jim McIntosh says they see
their gift as a way to protect the poultry industry, bolster the research the
industry needs and give back to a way of life so many Ontario farmers are fortunate
to have.
