Documentary following a Co Down man's dream of becoming world ploughing champion - from the fields of Northern Ireland to a shot at glory in the Czech Republic. Andrew Gill lives in Dromore, a ploughing heartland steeped in Ulster-Scots heritage and the birthplace of Harry Ferguson, the inventor whose tractor revolutionised farming worldwide. Andrew's story is made all the more extraordinary by the fact that, at just 23, he was diagnosed with leukaemia. With the unwavering support of his family, Andrew overcame the disease and went on to represent Northern Ireland at world championships in America, Ireland, Latvia and Estonia
