Canadian Prime Minister Arrives At IPM In Walton (VIDEO)

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has plowed a little bit of Huron County farmland.

Trudeau and his family arrived Friday morning at the International Plowing Match near Walton.

Wearing blue jeans and a baseball hat, the prime minister hopped on a tractor and was able to plow a fairly straight furrow.

He also met with students from St. James School in Seaforth, who were at the plowing match, and dropped in to the Main Stage to hear several of the speeches in the Ontario Queen of the Furrow competition.

Trudeau then headed back to Toronto for some mid-afternoon engagements including a meeting with the Ukranian Prime Minister.

The Queen of the Furrow winner along with the plowing champions will be announced Friday night at the Celebration of Excellence Gala in Brussels.
