The Committee would like to that all those who entered the competition, to those companies who kindly provided sponsorship, and
to the judges who had the unenviable task of viewing many fields and making some difficult decisions. There were a large number of
high quality entrants, and although it was a long day, it was an enjoyable one !
First and Second placed samples will be on display in the secretary’s tent at the ploughing match and at the Ashford Cattle Show on
2nd & 3rd December 2014
