A ploughing match is a contest between people who each plough part of a field. Nowadays the vintage tractor s the most popular form of ploughing.

Points are awarded for the straightness and neatness of the resulting furrows.

There are many ploughing matches up and down the United Kingdom and the season varies where you are in the country. This one, The Sussex Championships was held in Little Horsted, Eat Sussex and has been going on for nearly 70 years.

Here the champion on the day is given the opportunity to plough at next year's British Championships.
