Thanks Again, The Seaforth Calf Club News Bill Feeney, of Staffa, qualifies to plow at Canadian championships Pulling the plow as slowly as possible is the secret to the perfect furrow, said 16 -year- old Bill Feeney, of Staffa, junior champion tractor plowperson at last week's International Plowing Match (IPM) near Listowel. "Patience is the winning ingredient - it takes a lot of patience to keep it straight and make sure everything's level," he said Monday. Feeney, son of Francis and Glenda Feeney and a student at St. Michael Secondary School in Stratford, plowed using a two -furrow plow in the group born 1986-1989. His grandfather, also Bill Feeney, from the Dublin area, coached his grandson for the past six years. This was the 16-year-old's first year to plow on his own - no coach allowed. Feeney said he's learned a lot over the years from a number of different coaches. He said it's through trial and H.

"The furrows have to be standing upright and you have to see every individual furrow. You learn it from tinkering around while you practise," he said. Feeney is now eligible to compete next spring at the 2006 Canadian Plowing Contest (Junior division) in Chilliwack, B.C. "I'm going to have to plow as much as possible this fall before the snow comes because there's nothing you can do to.practise while the snow is on the ground," he said. Feeney also holds the beautiful Sidney Sisler Memorial Trophy as a result of being the Jr. Champion in his class. As well, he was awarded a two-year scholarship at an Ontario university or college of technology, and the Orville and Ruth Fried Special, awarded to contestants qualifying to compete at the 2006 Canadian Plowing championships, which consisted of $200 and a Jr. Champion jacket and hat. Brandon McGavin, of RR 4, Walton, son of Brian and Shelley McGavin, was reserve winner in his class (born 1990-1995), using a two -furrow plow. Brandon was coached by his father, Brian.
