Anna Marie McHugh from the National Ploughing Championships says there’s plenty for everyone:
Businesses and organisations from the South East have spent today exhibiting at the ploughing and will be back on-site tomorrow.
These people have been telling Beat news what makes the ploughing special for them:
The attendance at this year's event is expected to be in the region of 300,000 people - with day 2 getting underway bright and early in the morning.
