MF Ploughman Comes Out On Top

The British National Ploughing Championships took place at the fine KS Coles site at Bishop’s Lydeard, near Taunton, Somerset, on October 14 and 15. Here, some 260 ploughmen and women took part in the various competitions and there were agricultural displays - particularly from the Ferguson Club, Ford and Fordson Association and the Vintage Horticultural & Garden Machinery Club. There were also some fine Somerset club displays and a good selection in the demonstration vintage-classic section.
