Alan Wallace
    -  

Allan Wallace was a world champion competitive ploughman and NZPA executive.

Wallace started competitive ploughing in 1961 in events run by the Young Farmers Clubs.  At that stage he had only done a little ploughing on the family farm.  He entered his first New Zealand Championships in Invercargill in 1962 and has competed in 18 further events.

He won his first New Zealand Championship in 1968 which entitled him to plough at the world championships in Yugoslavia.  He won his second New Zealand Championship in 1971, coming second overall at the world champs in the UK.  His third New Zealand win was in 1976 when he went onto plough in Sweden, and his fourth win in 1980 led to his World Championship win in Eire.

He retired from competitive ploughing following that victory and was a member of the New Zealand Ploughing Association Executive for 23 years.  He has judged at four world championships.
