The competition's rules include entrants being barred from trying to mark out lines to follow by leaving marks on the ground.

Furrows must be ploughed to a certain depth and contestants have to complete their set amount of ploughing within a designated time.

To have a chance of winning, the ploughing must be uniform and neat and no stubble or grass should be visible in the furrows.
