ABOUT OUR PLOUGHING MATCH:
A Glimpse into Farming’s Past…
Today, very few farmers plough in this traditional way, making our Ploughing Match a wonderful opportunity to see farming history brought back to life.
Farmers will bring their vintage and classic tractors, demonstrating the machinery and skills of a bygone era, with competitors putting their ploughing skills to the test just as generations of farmers did before them.
It’s more than a ploughing competition — it’s a celebration of traditional farming, rural heritage and the people who have worked our land for generations.
Before modern machinery transformed the way our fields are worked, ploughing was a skilled craft carried out with patience, precision, and often a good deal of horsepower!
Demonstrating the machinery and skills of a bygone era, with competitors putting their ploughing skills to the test just as generations of farmers did before them. Please have a look at the pictures below of this year’s ploughing match and of previous years.
