2020 International Plowing Match & Rural Expo

We're PLOWING ON at the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo The Leadership of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association has made the most difficult decision to postpone the 103rd edition of the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo (IPM) until October 2021. The IPM will run from Wednesday, October 13 to Saturday, October 16 and will be held at the Lindsay Exhibition grounds and neighbouring farms in Lindsay, Kawartha Lakes, Ontario. The complete announcement and "Plowing On" video is posted at http://plowingmatch.org/

IPM 2020 Update The health and safety of our visitors, members, staff, and event participants and partners have been and will always be a number one priority for the Ontario Plowmen’s Association (OPA). As such, and in keeping with the requirements of the various levels of our government, our OPA Office is temporarily closed. At this time, the OPA staff is continuing to work on IPM 2020 planning (as well as all other events) from their home offices. We are following the direc...tion of the medical experts and feel it is mandatory that we do our part to flatten the curve of COVID-19 in our world. At this time, we have no intentions to cancel or postpone the 2020 International Plowing Match and Rural Expo. We will continue to follow the instructions and guidance of public health officials at all levels of government and will provide an immediate update if anything changes. Yours Truly, ONTARIO PLOWMEN'S ASSOCIATION
