IVY, Ont. - Premier Kathleen Wynne is dismissing suggestions her Liberal government is out of touch with rural Ontario.

Speaking at the International Plowing Match in Ivy, near Barrie, Wynne said her government represents rural and urban Ontario equally.

Interim Progressive Conservative leader Jim Wilson and NDP Leader Andrea Horwath are also at the huge agricultural fair, which opened Tuesday.

The politicians have gone up against each other in an exhibition plowing match this afternoon, with each driving a tractor in their party's colours.
