CHERITON Fitzpaine Ploughing Match and Produce Show is always a popular rural event where the finest ploughmen from across the South West and further afield compete in a range of ploughing competitions.

In total there are 14 ploughing classes including six National Ploughing qualifiers.

It includes vintage tractors, new tractors and horses ploughing.

The produce show attracts a good number of entries across a range of classes, from crops to cookery and handicrafts to produce, floral, photography, children’s classes and so much more.

Last year’s event saw four pairs of horses ploughing and more than 50 ploughing with tractors.

This year’s event will take place on Sunday, September 15 at Burrow Farm, Stoke Canon, EX5 4ED, by kind permission of Mr and Mrs Ross May.

The schedules and entry forms are now available via the Ploughing Association’s Facebook page or by emailing: [email protected] .
