Carolina Farm Show 2001
Show Dates – Oct. 4-6 – Thursday –Saturday - Kinston, North Carolina

KINSTON, NC---Plan now to attend the second annual Carolina Farm Show – it’s bigger and better than last year’s successful event.  This mid-Atlantic ag showcase is packed with new and practical equipment, services and products just right for your farming operation.  Hundreds of exhibitors with thousands of products are waiting for you.

Check out the new machinery, seed and crop protection products, livestock handling/production products and don’t miss the live-action field demonstrations.  Over 200 acres of cropland are ready to demonstrate the latest in tillage, haying and harvesting equipment in side-by-side live-action comparisons.

Cattle handling demonstrations will be held twice each day showing the latest in chutes, scales and other products while exhibitors work a series of calves through each setup.  And if you want to see something truly amazing, don’t miss our very own nationally acclaimed “horse whisperer” Craig Cameron as he demonstrates his horse handling techniques each day at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Show hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Admission is $5 for adults, ages 17 and under are free.
