World Ploughing Championship in Russia to be cancelled

The event was scheduled to take place in St. Petersburg on August 13 and 14 following a three-year gap because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The 67th World Ploughing Championship, which is due to take place in Russia later this year, is likely to be cancelled, the Irish Examiner understands.

The event was initially scheduled to take place in St Petersburg on August 13 and 14 following a three-year gap because of the Covid-19 pandemic. It last took place in Minnesota, USA, in 2019, and is set to return to Ireland in 2023.
