BY DAVE DINEEN
The 1978 International
Plowing Match and Farm
Machinery Show, located
just east of Wingham in
Huron County, started
Tuesday and before the
gates close Saturday at 6
p.m. an estimated 250,000
people are expected to be
part of the largest farm
machinery show and
plowing match in North
America.
The newest ' tractors
and farm implements
from Canada, the United
States, Europe and Japan
will be there, as well as
entire homes, barns and
silos. Programs for ladies
will run continuously
from 9 each morning to 6
p.m. in three 50 by 100
foot buildings, featuring
crafts, floral displays and
seminars, fashion -shows,
cooking exhibits and
more: There will even be
a midway for youngsters.
The tented city at IPM
'78 is the biggest ever. A
seventh street has been
added to the layout of the
tented city, which is the
world's largest. One
hundred .and twenty
acres are covered with
the tents, permanent
buildings constructed
just for the five-day show,
and with fully -serviced
streets.
Growth of the plowing
match has been
phenomenal, -organizers
say. When the site was
chosen in 1979, plans were
for a tented city with four
streets.- Now there are
almost 800 exhibitors and
caterers in tented city,
with almost five miles of
road frontage.
A total of 176 Huron
County people have
combined to form the
local committee to work
with the Ontario
Plowmen's Association
and present IPM '78. The
work of these people
provides not just the huge
tented city, but the
planning behind parking
•for 20,000 cars daily,
wagon trains to tran-
sport the thousands ' of
visitors to IPM from
parking to the tented city
and from tented city to
the plowing competitions ..
and farm machinery
demonstrations, and
dozens of other huge
projects.
The demonstrations
are a new feature of the
International Plowing
Matoh, . as farm
machinery manufac-
turers distributors and
dealers get a chance to
show how their village,
harvest anti other
equipment perforins in
the field.
PLENTY OF
PLOWING TOO -
Though many people
who • visit the Inter-
national Plowing Match
don't get past the huge
tented city, there is
plenty to be seen beyond.
Plowing competitions are.
held daily, featuring both
horse -powered plows and
tractor drawn plowing
