About the experience

Product ID: 17094

Step into the Ploughing Masterclass! Enjoy three action-packed hours learning how to plough a real field with a real tractor – just like a true farmer. Anything that involves a tractor and open farmland is always a winner, but these masterclasses go even further. You won’t just be handed the keys and sent off – you’ll be taught the full ins and outs of the ploughing process. In farming, ploughing isn’t just about turning soil. It’s about knowing when to plough, why it’s done, and how it’s carried out. From choosing between a disc plough and a mouldboard plough, to deciding whether to plough-and-sow or leave land fallow, even right down to keeping an eye on the weather forecast – it’s all part of the agricultural skillset. You’ll get to set up your tractor, attach the plough, and learn how to adjust the depth depending on soil type and future crops. And, if the conditions are on your side, you’ll put that knowledge into practice by ploughing your very own stretch of field. The key is in that very first furrow – steady, straight, and precise – before overlapping each one to achieve a neat and professional finish. These fantastic ploughing masterclasses near Blyth give you the chance to gain real farming know-how, plenty of hands-on tractor time, and, best of all, the thrill of experiencing life behind the wheel of a working tractor in the fields. Simple, satisfying, and seriously fun!
