According to rules the plow
cannot cut less than a foot of soil
and must go six to seven inches
into the ground. The depth is set
and the entrants adjust the
distrance between plow shares to
ensure that the furrow is the
proper distance across. The
coach, usually working with
younger entrants, constantly
measures the work of the
plowman to ensure quality"
John Clark has been competing
in the Huron match since the
days before tractors. He
remembers the Pt. Albert match,
which was all horse drawn
equipment, and has been a
familiar face at Huron com-
petitions for years. John Didn't
compete this year but two of his
children did. His son Kevin and
daughter Heather both entered
the match, Kevin winning his
class and Heather finishing
second in hers.
"They've been practising for a
week," said Mr. Clark, He ex-
plained that his children were
members of the 4-H Sodbusters
Club and had spent a week on

More to plowing than you may think
There's more to plowing than
just riding a tractor across a field
while a piece of equipment turns
the ground over. To about 40
Huron County farmers plowing is
an art, a technique and a skill all
rolled into one. The farmers think
enough of the art of plowing to
make it worthy of competition
and for 49 years have been pitting
their skills against one another in
the annual Huron County Plowing
match.
The 49th Annual match was
held Saturday at the farm of Ken
Duncan of Usborne township
about eight miles east of Exeter.
The competitors gathered from
all over the county to plow in one
of the eight classes sponsored by
the Huron Plowman's
Association while businessmen
also tried their skills behind a
horse drawn walking plow in a
special class held for non far-
mers.
Like any other competition the
plowing match requires a great
deal of preparation by the en-
trants, The contestants set up
their machinery to within a
quarter of an inch of the required
depths and widths of the furrows
and even shine the moldboads on
their plows to give the freshly
turned earth a shiny appearance..
"It's a sport," said Huron
Plowman's Association secretary
Russel Bolton of Seaforth.
Mr. Bolton is charged with the
task of setting up classes for the
day, making sure that entrants
meet the demands of the class
and that they work their proper
area to make judging possible.
He also lines up prizes and
awards for entrants and collates
results of the day.
The secretary outlined the
steps a plowman must take to
compete in larger and more
prestigious competitions. The
next step winners of the county
matches takes is to the Inter-
national Match which this year is
being held in Walkerton and
promises to be the biggest match
ever, Winners of the international
can then go on to the World
Match.
"You can't go to the Inter-
national without competing
here,", said Mr. Bolton.
The attraction of great com-
petition is not the primary reason
contestants enter their local
plowing match. According to one
entrant "it's fun." Bob Learning,
a 15 year old from Walton, served
as a coach for the young com-
petitors putting three years of
experience in plowing com-
petition into the task.
"It's fun and I enjoy the
competition, " he said as he
measured the furrow of Brian
McGavin, also of Walton. "I like
plowing but it is a lot more fun
competing •against someone
else."

A PLOWING FAMILY—The Becker family from Dashwood have been prominent for many years at
