Liaison With, Ploughmen.
WHILE the ploughmen • taking part in the 14th World Contest are at Lincoln College, Messrs L. L. (Len) Carpenter, a farm manager of Ladbrooks, and P. F. (Forrest) Wood, a farmer of Tai Tapu, will be attending to their various needs. These men are the two official New Zealand liaison officers to the contest ploughmen. Their responsibilities include the arrangement of stalling of tractors and equipment, organisation of
practice areas and ensuring that the visitors are conversant with time tables. Both men have been members of the Lincoln Ploughing Match Association for many years and have been plot stewards at Lincoln matches for years. Mr Carpenter first ploughed in a match in a paddock behind the site of the world grassland ploughing this week when he was 12 years of age. He then drove an F2O tractor with
spade lugs. His father, Mr F. W. Carpenter, who was president of the Lincoln association for a number of years, then owned the paddock and also the world grassland site and the area of land which will be used this week for exhibits. Mr Wood has not ploughed in matches but has always been interested in them. In the photograph below are Mr Carpenter, on left, and Mr Wood.
