The Rural Voice, 1993-09, Page 5IURAL VOICE THE MAGAZINE OF THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY Columns Behind the Scenes Keith Roulston 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.

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.
