The International Plowing Match and Rural Expo (IPM) was created by the Ontario Plowmen's Association in 1913 to showcase farmers' passion for the soil, agriculture, and rural living. It has evolved into a massive rural expo, where the main goal is to educate people about agriculture. This is the largest event of its kind in Canada, attracting people from all over the world.
This year’s IPM will take place from September 19 to September 23 in Bowling Green (between Grand Valley and Laurel) in Dufferin County, Ontario. There are plowing competitions, a range of activities, agriculture and forestry demonstration, live entertainment, vendors and exhibits, RV park and a wide variety of food vendors.
Small Farm Canada will be at the Plowing Match in Dufferin County this year, you can find us in the Farming for the Future tent. Hope to see you there!
