By HENRY HESS
What is a plowman without
his tractor? And where does
one find a tractor several
hundred or thousand
kilometers from home on the
eve of a big competition?
This is a problem that will
face a number of com
petitors, some coming from
as far away as Europe, at the
International Plowing Match
just outside Wingham ‘this
fall, and Neil McGavin of
Walton is the man in charge
of solving it.
Mr. McGavin, whose
father, Gordon, was a past
president and director of the
Ontario Plowmen’s
Association, heads up the
tractor committee for IPM
’78. Foremost among his
committee’s responsibilities
is the job of finding equip
ment for use by plowmen
who travel long distances to
the match.
It’s not as big a job as it
used to be, Mr. McGavin
noted last week, but it does
have its unique problems.
Match plowing has become
quite an art - and a very
competitive one - with the
result that most competitors
try to bring their own
equipment to the match.
Specially designed plows are
used, with long moldboards
to give neater furrows, and a
plowman familiar with his
equipment can just about
make the plow talk.
On the one hand this
reduces the demands on the
tractor committee; Mr.
McGavin estimates he’ll
have to come up with 20
tractors while a few years
ago it would have been 50.
On the other hand,
however, it makes things a
little more demanding since
not just any tractor will do. A
plowman who can’t bring his
own equipment will want
something as nearly iden
tical to his own as possible so
he’s not plowing at a
T undisadvantage with
familiar equipment.
When a competitor sends
in his registration to the OPA
in Toronto he will state
whether or not he needs a
tractor and specify his first
three preferences. The list
then comes to Mr. McGavin
and the tractor committee
goes to work.
They make every effort to
give a person his first
preference but if that’s
impossible he will have to
settle for one of the other
two.
The tractors are all
borrowed from local farmers
so it helps that Mr. McGavin
and several of his committee
members are farm equip
ment dealers; they have a
pretty good idea who has
what kind of tractor.
The committee includes

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 guarded im
pound area just across the
highway from the tented
city.
The committee’s
responsibility for providing
equipment is pretty much
limited to tractors, Mr.
McGavin said. The plowmen
will either contrive to bring
their own plows to the match
or will arrange for a plow
through their dealer net
work, 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
preferences. Some'
Europeans who come over
for the match want nine inch
wide tires on their tractors
since that’s what they’re
used to, but the narrow tires
just aren’t available here, he
noted.
In addition to finding,
transporting and storing the
tractors, the tractor com
mittee will set up a small
repairshopwith facilities for
welding or sharpening plow
points. It is also responsible
for having some big tractors
standing by to pull
exhibitors’ 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 com
mittees 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. t McGavin noted.
Hopefully that won’t happen
this year.
The committee will get
into high gear around the
beginning of September
after all the entries have
been received and
processed. The number of
plowmen varies from year to
year according to the
location but Mr. McGavin
said he is expecting 75 to 100
plowmen a day during the
five day match. He and his
committee will make sure
every one of them has a
tractor.
