Queen of the Furrow Hello! My name is Heidi Frey and it has been an honour to be the 2018/19 Wellington County Queen of the Furrow. I would like to personally welcome you to the 2019 Wellington County Plowing Match.

A huge thank you to the Wellington County Plowmen’s Association for this opportunity. This past year has pushed me to be more involved in the community and connect with people within the agriculture industry. I have always been very passionate about being an AgVocate and this position gave me many chances to share that passion with others.

Heidi Frey WELLINGTON COUNTY QUEEN OF THE FURROW 2018-2019

I was able to attend many different events within the county such as, Christmas parades, farm safety breakfasts, farm shows and the local plowing match.

Representing Wellington County at events such as The Royal Winter Fair, the London farm show and The Ontario Plowmen’s convention. Even outside of the county I met many new faces from Wellington and I would like to say thank you to those who came and introduced themselves. This role has forced me to step outside of my comfort zone and shaped me to be a strong leader in agriculture.

I would like to extend my appreciation to all the members of the Wellington County Plowmen’s Association for educating the community on our heritage. Agriculture has changed immensely even just in my lifetime and I feel it’s important we never forget how things used to be. I would also like to thank the Queen of The Furrow Committee for helping to make this year as fulfilling as possible. Thank you to my parents and friends who have supported me throughout the past year, I could not have done it without you.

Even though my reign may be coming to an end I will cherish these experiences forever. I will continue to support the farming community within Wellington County and I am excited to see what my role in modern agriculture will be.

I look forward to representing Wellington County at the 2019 International Plowing Match in West Nipissing this year and hope to see everyone there!

Princess of the Furrow Hello,My name is Shayna Morphy. I am very proud to represent the Wellington County Plowmen’s Association as the 2018 - 2019 Princess of the Furrow!

I would like to welcome you to the Wellington County Plowing Match! Best of luck to all of the competitors.

It has been an honour to represent Wellington County at many events. I have enjoyed participating in Santa Claus parades, Farm Safety Events, the Drayton Farm Show, the Drayton Fair, and many more events. I have appreciated meeting many wonderful people who have allowed me to grow as a person and to represent agriculture in our community.

The role of Princess of the Furrow has allowed me to promote farming and to develop skills to help shape the future of agriculture in Wellington County. It’s a privilege to represent agriculture and to promote the beauty of Wellington.

I would like to thank all the members of the Wellington County Plowmen’s Association. Their dedication and hard work is extremely appreciated and their efforts have allowed for this yearly tradition to continue.

Thank you to Katherine Clyne for her guidance and words of wisdom. Thank you to Ivan McCready and Bill Stickney for driving the float in all the Santa Claus Parades.

It is been a pleasure to work with all you. Special thanks to my family, along with Marg and Tate for giving me the courage to take a challenge and find out it was so worth it. Everyone’s support, kind words and opportunities have allowed me to have an excellent year filled with joy and excitement.

Shayna Morphy WELLINGTON COUNTY PRINCESS OF THE FURROW 2018-2019

I look forward to representing Wellington County at the IPM in West Nipissing! I hope to see you there!

A NEW WORLD DEMANDS NEW HOLLAND.

Independent third-party testing shows how productive and efficient a New Holland CR combine can be. Here’s how New Holland interprets the test results: MORE HARVESTING PRODUCTIVITY: 4% more in wheat and 10% more in canola LESS TOTAL FLUID CONSUMPTION: 6% less in both wheat and canola for lower operating costs LESS GRAIN LOSS: 30% lower in wheat and 45% lower in canola means more grain in the bin It all adds up to more profit for you and more money in your pocket.
