Loyalists who settled in Cornwall and the United Counties in 1784, the Francophones who arrived in large numbers throughout Cornwall and the Counties or our moremo- dern pioneers, the Dutch and Swiss farmers,” said IPM Chair Jim Brownell. Plowing matches have been part of the agricultural history in Ontario for well over a century. In the early days, they were spon- sored by agricultural societies, the "rst farm groups to be established.
History records that, in 1846, when the "rst provincial exhibition was held in To- ronto, a special feature of the event was a plowing match. It took place on a farm on Yonge Street in the vicinity of St. Clair Ave- nue. !ese matches not only gave farmers an opportunity to display their skill in the handling of a walking plow, but to show the "ne teams of horses, many of which were imported or were from imported stock.
