THE PLOWING MATCH SUPPLEMENT —15
Finding tractors, plows for IPM is quite a job

Ken Innes of prussels, Jerry
Priestner of Lucknow, John
Radford of Londesboro
and Morris Hallahan of
Blyth.
When the committee
locates a tractor it can use it
gives it a thorough going-
over to make sure it's in good
shape .and arranges pickup
and delivery for it. While at
the match the tractors will be
kept in a gua r ded
compound area just across
the highway from the tented
city.
The committee's responsi-
bility for providing equip-
ment is pretty much limited
to tractors, Mr. McGavin
said, The plowmen will
either contrive to bring their
OWil plows to the match or
will arrange for a plow
through their dealer network
which is a good thing since
the cost of match plows runs
around $1,000.
There is also a limit-to how
"fine" a person can get in
SpeCifying equipment prefer-
ences. Some Europeans who
. come over for the match want
nine inch wide tires on their
tractors since thats what
they're used to, but the
narrow tires just aren't avail-
able here, he noted.
In addition to finding,
transporting and storing the
tractors, the tractor commit- i
tee will set up a small repair
shop with facilities for wel-
ding or sharpening plow
points. It is also responsible
for having some big tractors
standing by to pull exhibi
tors' trucks on and off the
site if it is wet and for looking
after the fuel for the
plowmen and the Junior
Farmers' wagon train.
The committee has a
budget for fuel but the
plowmen and other commit-
tees are expected to pay for
fuel they use. Last year the
fuel budget went out the
window very quickly as over
900 gallons were used just to
pull things onto the muddy
site, Mr. McGavin noted.
Hopefully that won't happen
this year. •
