The National Ploughing Championships will take place in Ballintrane, Fenagh, Co. Carlow, next week (September 17-19).

In the run-up to this year’s event, AgriLand has been trawling the site – to see what awaits visitors (amidst the machinery trade stands).

Below – for your viewing pleasure – is a gallery depicting the on-site machinery highlights. In accompanying reports, we preview other (mechanisation-themed) attractions.

Stay tuned to AgriLand for ongoing coverage from the site in Co. Carlow, as the week unfolds.

Aside, the NPA (National Ploughing Association) has released a detailed map of the site, showing the locations of the various exhibition and activity areas.
