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 29th and 30th November
2010.
