One of the skills of ploughing is to keep your work absolutely parallel. This chap has achieved this as can be seen by the constant width of the last unploughed strip.

Thank you Geoff. I love the ploughing matches, you get to meet and photograph some really interesting people, and as you know, once you get the old farmers talking they have some great tales to tell about the old days.

Thanks again rpavich, these guys are constantly adjusting and fine tuning their ploughs. They use surveyors sighting poles to get the first opening cut straight.
