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.
We hope you enjoy your visit to the Sunbelt Ag Expo
and that you will take time to fully experience all that
we have to offer. This show program and our mobile
app, Sunbelt Ag Expo 2019, are a great resource to
help you plan your visit to the Expo.
If you need assistance at any time during your visit,
please don’t hesitate to let a staff member know. We

Expo experience exceeds your expectations.
