For the second time this year, equipment dealer Company Wrench will let show guests try their hand at operating its equipment in a large area in front of the grandstand. According to Company Wrench President Cam Gabbard, the ability for show guests to operate equipment was well received at the 2023 show, so they decided to offer the option again this year. According to Gabbard, factory representatives from equipment manufacturers will be at the exhibit to help those 21 and older understand how the equipment works and present prizes to the best operators.
The Southern Farm Show is the largest annual agricultural exposition in the Carolinas and Virginia. Filling the NC State Fairgrounds, the show also includes a large selection of professional landscape equipment.
Show hours are 9 am to 4 pm on Wednesday and Thursday and 9 am to 3 pm on Friday. Admission and parking are free.
