MOULTRIE, Ga. (WGXA)- Executive Director Chip Blalock says the Sunbelt Ag Expo truly earned the title "North America's Premier Farm Show."
“The big show in October is a three-day agriculture extravaganza. Former Governor and Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue called it the 'Disney World of Agriculture.' It’s kind of like, if you can’t find it at Expo, it doesn’t exist,” Blalock said.
Vendors and visitors all over the state, country and world flock to Moultrie's Spence Field, for three days each mid-October, to see the latest and greatest in farming innovations.
Blalock said an estimated 1100 exhibitors will be on-hand this year-- and will draw a big crowd.
“We look forward to welcoming 50,000 plus of our friends from all over the world," said Blalock.
But if you think the Sunbelt Ag Expo is just about pageantry-- think again!
In this week's "On the Farm," we not only preview some of the events planned for this year, but examine how Sunbelt staff works year-round to advocate and promote agriculture.
