“to promote and encourage the art, skill and science of ploughing the land”
Ploughing matches are held across the UK and throughout the year. They offer the chance for both novice and experienced ploughmen and women to take part. It's also a fantastic day out for families and people who enjoy the countryside and rural living.
The high point of the British competition ploughing season is the annual British National Ploughing Championships. With classes for conventional, reversible and horse-drawn ploughs as well as vintage tractors and ploughs.
For novices or experienced ploughmen alike, our ploughing courses are held over 2 days and teach reversible and conventional ploughing for ploughmen and women of all ages.
Our seminars are designed to help judges work on the same level across the country. This makes the standard of judging less varied in the level of points awarded for different aspects
