“It’s a competition between about 20 girls competing to be one of the best plowing competitors,” said Guindon.
The entrants must also be able to answer interview questions and promote agriculture within their area and community.
Current Queen of the Furrow Derika Nauta will yield her crown to this yearās winner during the Celebration of Excellence when other competition winners will be also be announced.
The IPM runs from September 17th to the 21st in West Nipissing.
