Plus everybody likes to see people competing and doing a job well," he said. Sixty-two plowers competed in the Huron County Plowing Match this year, compared to the approximately 50 who competed last year.1luron County Plow- man's Association President Brian Gavin also said more people were served at the Plowing Match's pancake breakfast than ever before. "'Ihe International Plowing Match is in Perth County this year so there's more interest because it is so close," said Corbett. "'Ihe weather was in our favor too, and the wheat harvest has finished up," said Corbett. "Nobody's started bean harvest, so farmers aren't in their fields working. It gave them a chance to get out too.' Cecelia Corbett is the secretary of the Huron County Plowman's Association, and attributed the rise in partipiant num- bers to a bigger 4-11 class. About 21 4-H members competed in Huron County this year, which is up from 18 in 2012. The number of participants from the 4-11 Sodbusters Club was also up this year. "We had 18 Sodbuster members this year, which isn't the highest number they've ever had but it is up from the last couple of years;" said Steve Corbett. Corbett said he expects interest in the county match to increase over the next few years as it gears up to host the Inter- national Plowing Match in Walton in 2017. "We'll probably see a little bit of an increase in attendance," he said. Participants of the county plowing thatches compete for points to qualify for the International Plowing Match, which this year is being held in Mitchell Sept. 17-21. . Planning is underway for the 2017 International Plowing Match and com- mittees are being set up. Corbett said the souvenir and cook book committees are already in swing. "The first thing that comes out is the cookbook and then the souvenirs because they can be sold two years in advance of the match," said Corbett. 11e added the cookbook committee is start- ing to collect recipes for the book. 'thost� interested can submit recipes by em: ing huronplowman(i)llay.net. 'lhe Huron County Plowman's Associ- ation will be needing more volunteers as 2017 approaches, and estimates around 1,500 volunteers will be needed. 2013 Huron County Plowing Match Awards: Tbp 441 Plowpsrson: Luke O'Rourke Score: Harold Walker Bsst Craven Roes Gordon Msmodel Best Goin Plow T1am: Scott Thomas Atttrart Craig Baan • Antique Plowing Champion: Harold Mamorlel Award for Bsst linlslcLucas Walker Townsend Meet Original Restored TFautor on Dia Jlanlor Rsess'w Champion Troy play: Owned by Lorne Hem Leming LeMost origin.)
