More than fifty committees have been established to ensure the event generates its anticipated $25 million economic impact.

'We think we've got lots of great agriculture that takes place in Lambton, that it is diversified, with various types of agriculture. We think we're a great place to be,' explained Dennis Bryson, the chairperson of the event. 072425 - Lambton County Dennis Bryson, chairperson of 2027 International Plowing Match and Rural Expo (IPM).
