UPCOMING SALES
Paul Dodds of the Winthrop area
earned the highest of his plowing
accolades recently when he returned
from the Canadian Plowing
Competition held in Abbotsford,
British Columbia.
At the event held last week and
into the weekend, Dodds plowed
with the best of the best from across
Canada and walked away with the
senior division trophy as well as an
invitation to France in 2014 to
represent Canada.
While he said that he knows he has
left better pieces of land at other
competitions, he said that he felt
good going into the championship
awards ceremony.
“I knew I had a chance, but I
didn’t know how much of one,” he
said. “It was really close though. It
ended up being a two-point
difference between myself and
second place. I knew it was going to
be a tight competition, but I didn’t
know it would be that close.”
When asked if it marked his
personal best, he said that he didn’t
know if it was his best work ever, but
did know that it was a memorable
occasion.
“I guess I’d have to say it was a
personal best in that I won,” he said.
“When you win the Canadian, it’s
got to be one of the highlights.
Maybe I’ve had better lands to start
with and finished better because of
that, but it was a good competition.”
In September, 2014, Dodds will be
heading to France to compete on
an international level, which he
said is an exciting opportunity.
He also said that he doesn’t know if
he’s quite come to terms with the
win.
“I don’t know if it’s even totally
sunk in,” he said.
Dodds arrived at the competition
more than a week ago and, going
into it, he said he didn’t know what
the end of the competition would

Well done
Huron County was well represented at the Canadian Plowing Championships held in
Abbotsford, B.C. last weekend as Kevin Haney, left, of Seaforth and Paul Dodds of Winthrop,
right, won the junior conventional and senior conventional classes respectively. Last weekend
marked the first time in the history of the match that two competitors from the same county
placed first in their respective classes. (Photo submitted)
