They have been invited back to the county by Beeswax Dyson Farming who will host the event on their land at Nocton, just south of Lincoln on the weekend of 12th and 13th October.
The Championships have a long and proud history and are delighted to be an official partner of the 2019 Cereals event this year. In its 69 years, this will be only the sixth time the event has been held in Lincolnshire and it is proving to be as popular as ever as organisers say applications are flooding in for both trade exhibitors/demonstrators and ploughing entries from competitors from all parts of Great Britain.
Good ploughmen - and women - can be seen at the British National Ploughing Championships, trying to be the best in their field - literally! Up to 250 of the top competitors will be showing their skills with the plough and vintage tractors, modern tractors or heavy horses. They will be striving to win the championship in their section along with the title of Supreme Champion, and some will get the chance to travel abroad to represent their country at next year’s World Ploughing Contest or European Ploughing Championships.
Alongside the ploughing competitions, there will be a wide variety of trade stands selling everything from a tractor or trailer, fertiliser or fuel, to a light or a lock; and manufacturers and dealers also have the opportunity to demonstrate in the field the tractors and machinery they have for sale. There will also be a vast array of shopping stalls.
Visitors to the event will also be able to see steam ploughing engines and a vintage and heritage area with the theme “From Horse to Horse Power” with exhibits from days gone past when farming went at a much slower pace right up to the most up to date machinery available today.
