THE Bradworthy and District Ploughing Association held its annual ploughing match, produce and vegetable show, on Friday, September 9.

The event was kindly hosted by G S and A Fowler, Combe Farm.

Tractors and ploughs travelled from all over the South West and the Isle of Wight to compete at this year's competition which incorporated the National Vintage Area Final for Devon, with Mr J Hodges taking the cup for the best piece of ploughing for the day.

The ploughing judges were Mr M Snook; Mr K Kerslake; Mr P Barriball; Mr A Brewer; Mr E Bowden and Mr A Medland, while Mr R Northcott and Mr P Davis judged the produce and vegetable classes.

The local champion was Ian Yelland of Holsworthy Beacon, who also received the cup for the best work completed by a member of the Tarka Group of Young Farmers.
