You are welcome Steve...it was and enjoyable day with 35 entries and also 6 County's from the Scottish County Club coming along for a warm up for their working day next weekend. Now some photos from yesterday.

 

My chosen victim for the feering and the first 12 furrows was Eric Proctor. I didn't even ask Eric since he is a collector of all things Nash and Farmall and i have know  him for many years. He has been ploughing with trailing ploughs for around 10 years now and is a "nae bad hand".

Now time for a wander over the 27 acre field and see the other competitors before coming back to see Eric and his finish...well I failed miserably at that since I got waylaid taking a couple of videos of the County boys in blue in action but hey ho I think I learned a little bit more from watching and speaking to Eric.
