Folks from throughout B.C. were in Chilliwack on Saturday competing in the 97th annual Chilliwack Plowing Match.
Horse-drawn plows, antique tractors, plus modern tractors all broke earth at this year’s location — the Chilliwack Corn Maze on Yale Road West.
One of the tractors people couldn’t take their eyes off was a 100-year-old Titan tractor owned by Ray Ramey of Agassiz — he even attached a “happy birthday” sign to its side.
Every year he boils eggs inside his 1919 tractor, which is even younger than his 102-year-old plow attached to the tractor. He used both to compete in the antique tractor class of the Chilliwack Plowing Match.
Watch The Progress later for results from the Plowing Match.
