Ontario politicians of all stripes, including Premier Doug Ford, are set to make an annual trek to the International Plowing Match today.
The expo — held this year in Bowling Green, Ont., north of Guelph — is a celebration of agriculture and rural living, and provides politicians with an opportunity to woo those communities.
Ford is set to make remarks at the plowing match's opening ceremonies today and participate in a "VIP plow," in which leaders of Ontario's political parties compete using tractors to see who can most successfully plow a straight furrow.
