Cover
All across Ontario the past few months,
people have been polishing their skills at
competitive plowing, hoping to win a
place at the 1993 International Plowing
Match at Walkerton, in Bruce County. A
job taken for granted by most farmers
becomes an intricate process for those
wanting to compete at this level. The
plow must be adjusted just so. The
person doing the plowing must be in
tune with the machine. There is no room
for error. Here, at the Huron County
Plowing Match a plowman and his coach
seek perfection.

The Mayor
The Johnston family continues a
tradition, and starts new ones, this
year when Nellie Johnston presides
as Mayor of the Tented City at the
1993 International Plowing Match.
She keeps up the family tradition
because her husband Earl was
Mayor when the match was held at
the same farm in 1976. She breaks
new ground, however, by becoming
the first lady mayor of a Tented City.
