For the first time in its 93-year history a Monaghan man is Chairman of the National Ploughing Association.
John Deerey from Inniskeen started ploughing on a Massey 25 in 1970 when he was just 12.
Zoe Tunney caught up with John following his election as chairman yesterday. As you will hear, times have changed but, with someone like John Deerey at the helm of the organisation, the future of ploughing in Ireland is in safe hands.
