2015 Ploughing Match
This years ploughing match was held on the 12th of September at Samuels Farm, Wheathampstead, AL4 8ER by kind permission of Ayot Estate/ Sarah Jane and James Nall-Cain.
With a furious week of combining running up to the Saturday we were very lucky in many ways to see the rain which started at 5am and pretty much stopped by the time the match started. Some ploughs hadn't broken soil since last year!
Other than a small shower mid match the weather turned out gloriously and warmed our backs during the prize giving. The farm had good soils and turned a nice furrow although maybe slightly trashy for the conventionals.
