1965



Art Dale moved up as President; 1st Vice-President, Alex Henderson; 2nd Vice-President, Ronald Hutcheson; Ed Eddy became Oxford Provincial Director; Art Dale and Doug Start attended the OPA convention held Feb.22nd and 23rd.
The match date was planned for Oct. 29th on the farm of Dr. W. Butt, 11th Line, East Zorra, Conc.10, west side (kitty-corner the farm show site). This was the same spot it was held in 1944. The plows and machinery were getting bigger; Class 9, utility class was changed to read: four or more furrows, 14 inches or more wide (instead of 11 or 12).
Each competitor had to plow three passes across a field; they did not have to do a strike out or finish. The quality of plowing was deteriorating. The wide bottom plows were made to accommodate the cash crop farmers who grew continuous grain corn.
