Mission Statement

The Sunbelt Ag Expo is an agricultural-based trade show held at Spence Field in Moultrie, Ga. Known as “North America’s Premier Farm Show”^®.

Expo originated from ABAC’s AET (Ag Engineering Technology) Club Dealer Days. The very first Dealer Days was held on the ABAC campus in 1964. These mini-trade shows shows were designed to allow local dealers to show off their new tractors & implements. At the same time, it provided students an opportunity to meet with potential employers. More often than not, many students working with Dealers Days went on to find employment with the local equipment dealers.

Visitors attend the Expo for various reasons. One of the main reasons is the annual event attracts more than 1200 exhibitors each year who showcase the latest in farming technology and whether you are a large acreage production farmer or a weekend lifestyle farmer the Expo is an event you don’t want to miss. We guarantee that each year visitors will come see and learn something new! No two Expos are ever the same.

There are also over 300 different seminars and demonstrations offered over the course of the 3-day event covering topics such as Beef Cattle Management, Equine, Goat & Sheep Health, Fish/Pond Management, Alpaca, Dairy, Poultry, Electrical Safety, backyard gardening and sustainable living topics. The Expo works with 22 Land Grant Colleges and Universities from the Southeastern U.S. to provide these educational opportunities at no additional cost to the Expo visitors.
