There is one special reason in Middlesex County, because this is the year of the International Plowing Match in the county. This five day event is the largest outdoor agricultural activity held in Ontario each year. It is significant because of the opportunity it provides farmers to observe and compare the latest in services, technology, machinery and equipment available to them. It is significant because it focuses the attention of the general public on agriculture, and through its activities and programs provides an opportunity for better rural -urban cooperation and un- derstanding. Essentially it demonstrates the im- portance of food production to the economy and well being of people. It is significant because it focuses attention on the basic resource to farming, the soil. Through its com- petitions and demonstrations it relates to the importance of good land management. It is particularly significant to the people of the county, because it is a large and important com- munity project that draws people together from all around the county. It is significant because a program of county exhibits, special events, and ladies activities, demonstrations, that makes our community of London -Middlesex a place that we residents are proud to live in and raise our families.
