Ontario Plowmen’s Association launched the first International Plowing Match and Rural Expo (IPM) in 1913. Each year, this annual outdoor agricultural & rural living festival is held in a different community and in 2019, for only the second time in the event’s history, it’s coming to Northeastern Ontario!
From September 17-21, more than 800 acres of farmers’ fields located within the boundaries of the small town of Verner in the Municipality of West Nipissing will be transformed into a massive tented city, competition plowing fields and serviced RV park.
A unique tourist experience, the IPM welcomes upwards of 80,000 visitor from both rural and urban communities to learn about agriculture through interactive displays, demos and workshops, all while showcasing its host region.
