•  The high point of Britain’s ploughing season.

•  Sponsored by the Society of Ploughmen.

•  Fierce competition — not only for the British National Titles — but also for the supreme honour of representing Britain at the 2013 World Ploughing Championships, the “Grand Prix” of ploughing.

•  250 contestants, winners of local ploughing competitions throughout Britain.

•  Women contestants are steadily increasing.

•  Horses, two dozen pairs of them, are the biggest crown pleaser — taking spectators back to when farming was a gentler, quieter way of life.
