Visit us at the International Plowing Match in Simcoe County

Grain Farmers of Ontario will be bringing our 53’ trailer exhibit, Growing Connections, to Simcoe County for this week’s International Plowing Match & Rural Expo.

Just south of Barrie, this year’s IPM is taking over Ivy, Ontario. Today’s Opening Parade will feature the Ontario Provincial Police Golden Helmets precision motorcycle team and begins at 10:30am. The festivities officially begin at noon, as Canadian Olympic Gold Medalist Jennifer Jones, one of Canada’s most accomplished and recognizable curlers, leads the Opening Ceremonies on the Main Stage.

What began as a provincial plowing competition over 100 years ago has grown into one Canada’s largest outdoor exhibitions, and more than 100,000 visitors are expected to attend. The IPM runs until Friday, and it features competitions in horse and mule plowing and tractor plowing of all skill levels. Attendees will also be treated to concerts, tractor square dancing, food and fair activities, and the annual Queen of the Furrow competition.
