Finishing touches are being made to the site of the 2022 National Ploughing Championships, the three-day event which is set to get underway in Ratheniska, Co. Laois tomorrow (Tuesday, September 20).
The National Ploughing Championships will this year coincide with the World Ploughing Contest at the same venue, after the latter was moved from St. Petersburg, Russia.
This year, Agriland Media Group is partnering with the National Ploughing Association (NPA) as the official livestream partner for the event.
The site map for Ploughing 2022 is available to view as a PDF file here, and the list of exhibitors is available to view here.
A map of the site is pictured below:
