Ploughing match
(Redirected from Ploughing Contest)
A ploughing match is a contest in which participants each plough a section of a field. Nowadays there are usually classes for horse-drawn ploughs and for tractor ploughing. Points are awarded for straightness and neatness of the resulting furrows.
The annual 3-day long Irish National Ploughing Championships has grown into one of the largest outdoor events in the world, with commercial exhibits and a significant national media presence.[1]
In Ontario, the International Plowing Match is an important rural event.[2]
