Lone plow woman out to beat the boys
The lnternatipnal Plowing Match held in
Grey County drew 83 Ontario men, ,11 of
them from Huron, to compete in the contest,
but in all Ontario there was only one woman
who was drawn to the 'Competition, •
Leanne Whitmore, who lives 9n her
parents' farm near Winthrop, was the sole
female competitor at this year's match,
. It was Miss Whitmore's first attempt at
international competition but she has had
experience at two other plowing competi-
tions in the past, one at Jack Riddell's farm
in Huron County; and the other at her great
grandfather's farm near Clinton.
At the internationalmatch Miss Whitmore
placed in th_Lbettom half of the junior
plowmen. There wel'arconifftitoWfdtiii,
10 boys and herself. On the first day of the
competition she placed 10th, on the second
day she moved up to fifth, on the third day
she moved back to seventh, and her final
finishing was ninth.
Most of the competition had more plowing
experience than Leanne, and she is not
upset by her placing this year.
"I'm pleased with it," she says, "and;I'Il
be a little better next year andplace a little
higher."
• Leanne became interested in the 'plowing
competition because she has friends and
relatives who are on the plowman's associa-
tion and they encouraged her to give it a try.
She did give it a try, and she practised every
night for an hour and•a half for about 10 days
beforethe Huron County Match, and after
that match she practised for another 10 days
to get ready for the international
competition. .
•
While she was practising she was helped
by Andrew Patrick, her neighbor and coach.
"I did some on my own but he carne and
helped me and pointed things out to me."
And Mr. Patrick wasn't the only person ,
who helped Leanne learn the plowman's
ropes. Steve Adams also ,helped coach and
helped out at the international, and
everybody who is involved with the competi-
tion gives each other a hand.
"You're not out there by yourself," says •
Leanne of the competition. "Everyone gives
you advice, even the people you are comr
peting against." . .
Leanne doesn't see any disadvantage in
being a female in this type of competition.
"Anybody can do it as long as they have
the strength to move some nuts and bolts
and coulters," she says. 'But at the same
time there is a lot for a person to learn
before they are good enough to enter mat-
ches competitiVely.
"You don't,just get on and drive the trac-
tor. You have to get off and check every five
• feet until you get it right."
Leanne enjoys the competition and says
she doesn't 'find it boring because you are
always thinking about what you are doing
and trying to keep things straight.
It's an added challenge to be competing
against the guys," she says. .
Leanne is after the two year scholarship
at Guelph University that is sponsored by
the Plowman's Association. It is worth $2500
per year, and it can only be won at the Inter-
national Plowing Match. This year there
were seven contenders for the scholarship.
