Overview:
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.
