Marlborough Ploughing Match

This is Marlborough’s regional qualifying match for the New Zealand ploughing final which is going to be held here in Blenheim in 2022.

At this year's event there will be people ploughing with modern tractors and ploughs, vintage tractors and ploughs also there will be horses and ploughs, it’s great to see how the art and mastery of ploughing has changed over the years, but the basic principle is the same, turn the soil over so as there is fresh soil to sow this year's food crops.
