[QUOTE="Howard150, post: 1698912, member: 30002"] Always a contentious point but it would be interesting to get some idea of people's feelings with regard to the depth ruling imposed on us in Vintage and Classic ploughing. Initially introduced so that no ploughman could gain advantage by ploughing shallow, should we have moved on, scrub the rule and allow depth to be at the discretion of the ploughman. Currently standing at 150mm in the Vintage and 170mm in the Classic, there are many ploughmen who do not agree with the rule. Welsh ploughing currently stands at 150mm for the Classic class. Had this been so in Marden last weekend then some of the worse plots would have been much easier to plough. Let's not run away with the idea that ploughing shallow will win out every time. Sometimes work needs to be deeper than the specified depth. Sometimes if the work is too shallow then it is impossible to bury the trash and it usually walks badly - nothing which a good judge is beyond sorting out. Your feelings please Gentlemen. [/QUOTE]
