Society of Ploughmen
About the Society of Ploughmen
The Society of Ploughmen was founded in 1972. It is a registered charity run by volunteers from the farming community. It is responsible for the organisation of the British National Ploughing Championships and for managing the England World and European Ploughing Teams.
With more than 250 local ploughing societies affiliated to it and a membership drawn from ploughmen and women from all over the world, the Society is a vibrant, thriving organisation and an influential member of international ploughing associations.
However, membership is not restricted to ploughmen and women alone. Anyone can join and there are many members who joined purely out of a love of farming and the countryside.

Promoting the art and skill of ploughing
Good ploughing still lies at the heart of proper soil management and the Society's main aim is to encourage and promote the art and skill of ploughing. Ploughing not only improves soil structure by helping drainage and aerating the soil, it also helps to preserve the land for future generations of farmers.
'New blood' is actively encouraged by the Society and the annual Young Farmers Championship attracts a growing number of entries each year, an increasing number of whom are girls.
Aims and objectives
• To promote and encourage the art, skill and science of ploughing the land.
• To promote an annual British National Ploughing Championship to be held each year in Great Britain.
• To organise and administer training sessions to those wishing to learn more.
• To co-operate with similar organisations in other countries in organising World, Eropean and other International Ploughing Competitions and to provide representatives for England on bodies organising the competitions.
• To provide facilities whereby the winners of local ploughing matches residing in Great Britain can, by virtue of their success, compete for the British National Ploughing Championships and by such means foster and maintain a high standard of ploughmanship.
• To provide facilities for the England Champions, by virtue of their success, to compete for the World, European and other International Championships matches.
• To provide facilities for demonstrations, works and trade displays at the British National Ploughing Championships.
Join the Society of Ploughmen
To fulfil our objectives successfully, the Society needs the support companies and individuals through donations and sponsorship. We also need the support of a large membership of both ploughmen and women and people with a love of farming and the countryside.
So why not help us do that and become a member.
