The roots of the Rutland Ploughing Match can be traced back to the 1870s, making it one of the county's longest running events.
Yesterday entries came from as far as Kent and the vintage classes also form part of the national qualifier for next year as organiser Edward Griffin explains.
‘It's across four classes. It's basically the vintage classes. We've got the mounted vintage R5 Forfar trying to qualify for a place at next year's National along with the vintage Tribe class and then what we call the classic classes, which is slightly newer tractors, but you know, through through the 60s sort of things. So and there's two classes of those, conventional ploughing and reversible ploughing. So they’re all trying to fight for their place at the National next year’.
