"Ploughing a Straight Furrow: A Timeless Tradition of Skill and Precision" In the world of agriculture, there is an art to ploughing a straight furrow. It requires not only skill but also patience and dedication. Over the years, this age-old practice has been celebrated in various ploughing matches held in different parts of England. One such event took place on the 15th of September 1986 at Ashbourne, West Hallam. Cliff Yeomans showcased his expertise as he guided his trusty horses through the fields, leaving behind perfectly aligned furrows that stretched into the horizon. Another memorable moment occurred on the 15th of October 1989 when Eddie Appleyard participated in the West Hallam Ploughing match with his loyal companions Bonny & Prince by his side. Together, they demonstrated their harmonious partnership as they meticulously turned over the soil with precision and grace. The Brailsford ploughing match held on the same date in 1963 witnessed two majestic horses working side by side, creating a mesmerizing sight for all those present. The annual ploughing match at West Hallam never fails to captivate spectators with its display of traditional farming techniques. Amidst all these competitions lies another cherished tradition - The Ploughman's Lunch. Farmers gather together during breaks to enjoy hearty meals prepared from locally sourced ingredients. Gerald Taylor, a farmer from Gotham Nottingham, was among those who relished this culinary delight during the West Hallam ploughing match on June 15th, 1950. Throughout history, these events have continued to bring communities together while honoring their agricultural heritage. In October 1981 at Brailsford's ploughing match, participants showcased their skills once again as they maneuvered their equipment expertly across vast fields. Mr. Gerald Taylor returned to compete in subsequent years and secured second place in one edition of the West Hallam ploughing match.
