Bruce County Council has approved lending $100,000 to the organizers of the International Plowing Match to be held near Walkerton in 2026.
It will be at the same location as the 1976 IPM, at the corner of Durham Road and Bruce Road 3, west of Walkerton and near Tiverton.
The Bruce County Plowmens Association asked for financial support in February and this week council approved an interest-free $100,000 loan.
Staff recommended $25,000 be given now and the balance when needed.
The loan is to be repaid in full by December 31, 2026.
