What makes Sunbelt Ag Expo different, and how we build for it
Sunbelt Ag Expo is the Southeast's outdoor farm show and calls itself North America's Premier Farm Show.Static lots and inside buildings fill a 100-acre exhibit area at Spence Field, and trams carry visitors to the Darrell Williams Research Farm to watch cotton, peanuts, corn, soybeans and hay harvested, alongside tillage, irrigation and precision demos. More than 300 seminars and demonstrations run with 22 land-grant universities. The Southeastern Farmer of the Year is named at the show, the Innovation Award picks new products, and a Spotlight State Building features a neighbor state, South Carolina in 2026. It began as ABAC Dealer Days in 1964.
Harvest, digging, planting and irrigation equipment they can watch working in the research farm, from dealers who know the Southeast.
Handling, health and feed products, and the stockmanship sessions that earn BQA credits.
Compact tractors, ATVs, lawn and garden equipment and pond management, often bought on a family visit.

How Purple runs Sunbelt Ag Expo 2027 in Moultrie
Moultrie is a long truck run from either Purple shop, so we choose Fishkill, NY or Las Vegas by schedule and send freight c/o the Sunbelt Ag Expo Shipping & Receiving Warehouse at Gate 2 for delivery to the lot. Our project manager leads set-up from October 12 with the forklift, tent and landscape vendors in the Vendor Services Guide, and stays through breakdown after the 3 p.m. close.
Inside Sunbelt Ag Expo 2027
Sunbelt Ag Expo rules that shape your booth
Every lot and booth must be complete by 5 p.m. on the Monday before opening, nothing may be set up Tuesday morning, and exhibits stay within their assigned space (2026 Vendor Services Guide). We plan deliveries to land days ahead of the cutoff.
Breakdown starts at 3 p.m. on the last day, vehicles enter only through Gates 2, 3 and 4, and early breakdown can get a company banned from future shows (2026 Vendor Services Guide). We book return trucks for the Thursday afternoon.
Exhibitors may use a tent they own; any other tent must be ordered through Rental Depot with the form in the Vendor Services Guide. We size the build to the tent and order it with the other rentals.
Exhibitors may run their own forklifts only to set up their own display, never for another exhibitor and never during show hours, and operators need employer certification (2026 Vendor Services Guide). We book Sunbelt's forklift service for heavy pieces.
A vehicle may stay on a lot only if it is part of the exhibit and approved in advance, with requests emailed by September 1; golf carts and ATVs need the same approval. We list every vehicle in the lot plan early.
Programs worth planning for
The show's Top-10 New Products competition for innovative, time- or labor-saving products, judged by farmers, ranchers, agribusiness professionals and university representatives.
State winners from across the Southeast are honored and an overall winner named at the show; Woody Larson of Florida was the 2026 Southeastern Farmer of the Year.
Trams carry visitors from the exhibit area to the 530-acre research farm to watch cotton, peanuts, corn, soybeans and hay harvested, with tillage, irrigation and precision demos.
Low-stress cattle handling sessions with Curt Pate where producers earn BQA credits through NCBA's program.
Sunbelt Ag Expo is the Southeast's outdoor farm show; pick it ahead of the Farm Progress Show if your buyers grow cotton, peanuts and hay or raise livestock in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and the Carolinas, and you want harvest demos on a working farm.

The booth we would build for Sunbelt Ag Expo 2027
The Southern farmstead lot with a porch
Sunbelt visitors split the day between the lots and the tram to the research farm, and October in south Georgia can still be hot. The lot reads as a farmstead: equipment at the lane, Bermuda sod and pine straw from the show's landscaper, and a shaded porch where a grower can sit and talk peanuts.
Lane display
The digger, picker, sprayer or pivot at the traffic lane with a sign naming the crop and the research-farm demo it appears in.
Sod and straw
Sod and pine straw from Sunbelt's landscape contractor under the machines, so the lot looks like a farm, not a parking spot.
Shade porch
A tent or covered deck with fans, cold water and seating, powered from the lot's 110-volt outlet and an extra circuit ordered ahead.
Dealer table
A table at the back for dealers from Georgia, Florida, Alabama and the Carolinas, with county maps and delivery dates.
The demo
Point visitors to the research-farm harvest where the machine runs, then let the lot carry the proof: a cotton module sample, peanuts from the digger, a video of the pass. Register any booth demo with Sunbelt so it appears in the program.
The meetings
Sunbelt has no organizer meeting system; meetings run on the lot. Restocking is allowed only from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., so plan meeting supplies for the full day.
Built for Southern rows. Proven at the Darrell Williams farm.
Your people arrive at the Spence Field to a lit, stocked booth. You just show up.

Designing a Sunbelt Ag Expo lot for Southern growers
1Finish by Monday at 5
All set-up must be complete by 5 p.m. on the Monday before the show, with no set-up on Tuesday morning, per the 2026 Vendor Services Guide. We schedule the last delivery for the prior Friday and use the weekend for graphics and lighting.
2Landscape the lot
Sunbelt's landscape contractor rents pine straw, wood chips, mulch, hay bales, mums and Bermuda sod by the foot. A lot finished with sod and straw reads as a working Southern farmstead, and we design the counter and flooring to meet it.
3Speak cotton and peanuts
Visitors ride trams from the lots to watch cotton, peanuts, corn, soybeans and hay harvested on the research farm. Graphics that name those crops, the digger, the picker, the irrigation, connect the lot to what they just watched.
4Use the restock hour
Lots and inside spaces can be restocked only from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. daily, and early breakdown can get a company banned. We build storage into the booth so literature and samples last the day.
Concept rendering
Every Sunbelt Ag Expo proposal includes a rendering like this

Sunbelt Ag Expo tips from the Vendor Services Guide
The Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College AET Club offers free help with equipment assembly, exhibit construction and field repairs, asking only for donations (2026 Vendor Services Guide). source
Electrical orders placed after October 1 carried a $50 surcharge and were served after on-time orders in 2026, and some lots need your own extension cord from the nearest pole. source
Garbage is collected only after the crowds leave, and it must be outside your exhibit beside the traffic lane by 5 p.m. each day (2026 Vendor Services Guide). source
Single packages under 71 pounds must be picked up at the Gate 2 Shipping & Receiving Warehouse rather than delivered to your space (2026 Vendor Services Guide). source
Visitors may carry out purchases during the show if they can safely carry them by hand, so small products can be sold off the lot. source
Who you meet on the floor
Cotton, peanut, corn and soybean farmers ride to the research farm harvests and compare equipment on the lots.
Beef, dairy, poultry, sheep, goat and horse owners attend seminars and Curt Pate's stockmanship sessions for BQA credits.

Can Purple build our Sunbelt Ag Expo display?
Our Fishkill, NY and Las Vegas shops make it, crates go through the Gate 2 receiving warehouse, and our project manager leads the set-up with the forklift, tent and landscape vendors Sunbelt lists, finishing before the Monday 5 p.m. cutoff.
Before you sign for Sunbelt Ag Expo
Five things to ask every builder quoting Sunbelt Ag Expo:
- Will you finish our Sunbelt lot before the 5 p.m. Monday cutoff, and what is your weather backup?
- Which tent will we use, our own or Rental Depot, and how will the build fit it?
- How will you land freight through the Gate 2 warehouse and plan forklift minutes at Sunbelt's rates?
- What landscaping, sod or pine straw do you propose, and will you order it from Sunbelt's contractor?
- How will you power fans, lights and screens from one 110-volt outlet plus what we order?
What Sunbelt Ag Expo exhibitors ask us
Prices are not published. How do we plan? Ask the exhibitor relations team for a quote by size, then budget the build: tent, landscape, power and graphics. We price the build the same week so the whole number is on one page.
We are new. Can we still get a good spot? New exhibitors apply from March, after returning exhibitors, and 75% of exhibitors return each year, so the best lanes fill early. Apply on the first day and accept a smaller lot on a busy lane over a larger one at the edge.
Is it too hot in October for an outdoor lot? South Georgia afternoons can still be warm, so plan shade, fans and water. A tent from Rental Depot, or one you own, with a covered seating area keeps visitors on the lot longer.
