Sunbelt - Sunbelt Expo Program 2019

WELCOME TO EXPO

IF THE LATEST in Agricultural technology is what you are looking for, then the Sunbelt Ag Expo is the place for you. We welcome our faithful visitors and exhibitors to the 42nd annual edition of North America’s Premier Farm Show®, the Sunbelt Ag Expo!

As we celebrate 42 years of service to agriculture, we salute over 1,200 exhibitors that encompass 100 acres of exhibit space and represent over 4,000 different product lines. These exhibitors showcase the latest technology to help farmers enhance their economic and environmental sustainability.

The Expo’s 600-acre Darrell Williams Research Farm conducts world class agronomic research with Ag scientists from universities and corporate America to test innovations and is a proving ground for many advances in the way we do business. It’s also the location of our daily harvesting and tillage demonstrations during the Expo where manufacturers will operate recently released equipment for cotton, peanuts and hay. The ;elds are also the location for the John Deere Lawn Tractor test track and other driving ranges.

In the static exhibits there are over 300 interactive educational displays and demonstrations. The displays and activities showcase the many ways our exhibitors, agricultural researchers, and educators are helping farmers to continue to produce the safest, most economical, and abundant supply of food, ;ber, shelter and energy in the world.

On Tuesday we will cut the ribbon on the North
Carolina Spotlight State Exhibit. The North Carolina
Committee has put together a phenomenal exhibit
themed “Mountains to the Sea. Diversi;ed Agriculture
— Uni;ed Vision.”
You’ll ;nd it at the Spotlight State Building on the south
end of Block B- 6.

We will announce the Swisher Sweets Sunbelt Expo/ Southeastern Farmer of the Year. It is an honor to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this prestigious program and welcome 10 new farm families into the Farmer of the Year family. We are proud to give these salt of the earth farm families the recognition they so richly deserve.

We do what we do for you — the farmers, consumers, agribusiness community and all involved with agriculture. So, come and join the fun and fellowship, then leave with a renewed sense of community and con;dence in our future as the agricultural leader of the world.
