Since the fair was added to the plow- ing match an extra day was added. For the first time ever, the match will be extended until Sunday. The 2002 International Plowing match committees have been busy designing and planning the layout of the match. The McDonalds have been to many other matches to plan where things will go. "We're trying to take the best of what we've seen in other areas and put them to use," McDonald said. For the McDonalds, having the match on their land means planting crops that yield early in the summer on the site. On the area of the tented city alfalfa was planted. This year the hay was baled and will be used for the fares cattle. Next year, McDonald hopes to get two cuts of hay off the area before the plowing match. He estimates people will start moving things onto the tented city area around the first of August. In the trailer park and plowing areas McDonald will plant wheat and under seed it with red clover. With hundreds of acres of wheat and hay McDonald believes he will have more hay and straw than needed and plans to sell the extra. The McDonalds own 3,000 acres and about 1,100 of those will be used for
