Eckardt Memorial Trophy single furrow tractor class, open to those who have not won a prize in an open tractor class or a 1st or 2nd at an IPM prior to 1951, girls are excepted in this rule. Despite the fact that the tractor was replacing horse plowing on farms, Charlie Swartz, R.R. 1, Ingersoll, Chairman of the Teams Committee was concerned if enough good plow teams would be available for plowmen coming a distance. 700 total entries were expected. International rules now required that a plowman had to have won a 1st prize at a county match. This held down the entry list but raised the quality of plowing. Gale force winds and rain over the Thanksgiving weekend flattened about 20 tents in the exhibit area, but farmers, exhibitors, and officials had everything restored by Monday evening Oct. 8th.

Marshall Deans
encouraged Cecil Wells to enter his first plowing match in 1948. Cecil plowed
with a tractor in 1948, 1949, and 1950.
At the 1951 IPM he plowed with a borrowed team of horses, competed with horses through his lifetime, plowing with a Paris plow that he bought from Glen McFadden. Arlington Robinson spoke to Gordon Post, J.R. Hargreaves's neighbour re: a team for Cecil. Gordon had lost a daughter to scalding the previous year and was not going to take anyone in. Cecil went to see Gordon about his team of Belgian geldings. Their names were Toby and Star, Cecil remembers. They had never been on a plow before. They had done a lot of ditching, filling in tile drains, likely for a local tile drainage contractor from Sweaburg named Frank Elliot. Gordon said if Cecil used the team for plowing, Cecil and his mother could stay there. The team performed excellent, winning Cecil first place in Class three and a prize for Gordon Post in the best going plow team, explaining why one-half is noted behind Cecil's name in Class 3. The ditching machine of Frank Elliot is now owned by Frank McKay near Hickson awaiting restoration.
