The 75th Northern Ireland International Ploughing Championships and Five Nations Ploughing Contest will take place on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 September in Eglinton, Co Derry.

The event, organised by the Northern Ireland Ploughing Association on the Craig farm, will feature tractor and horse classes, young farmers' fencing and soil assessment competitions, lawnmower racing and family entertainment.

Before this, the Northern Ireland Vintage Ploughing Championships are scheduled for Saturday 22 September on the Coulter farm in Hillsborough, Co Down.

Also on 22 September, the Society of Ploughmen NI is holding its annual ploughing match on Lord Dunleath's estate in Kircubbin, Co Down.

The range of classes will include a 12" World Style class, which organisers said would act as a warm-up before the following week's championships.

There will also be a young farmer class and a baking competition on the day.
