Requests for cost-sharing
under the Agricultural Con

Under the ACP, a practice

A “Farm Computer
News” survey reveals to
day’s farmer uses computer
hardware mainly for finan
cial, crop, livestock and ac
counting records. The
machines increase effi
ciency and reduce the time
needed to make decisions.
Those are also goals of the
Sunbelt Agricultural Exposi
tion: teaching increased effi
ciency and effective time
management to southern
farmers. In its five-year his
tory, the Expo has evolved to
adapt to specific needs in
agriculture.
The addition of a computer
center at Sunbelt ‘B2, Oct. 12-
14, is a response to the explo
sive agri-computer trend.
The Expo, one of the three
largest in North America,
covers 1,680-acre Spence
Field, a former military air
base near Moultrie. It brings
together a collection of ag
equipment, supplies and
services, ideas and products
for rural living.
“Progressive Farmer”
magazine, one of seven Sun
belt sponsors, is pulling the
computer show together.
Covering 2,500 square feet of
exhibit space, the special
ized computer area com
bines exhibits, overview
lectures ahd sample pro-?
gram demonstrations by
specialists. There’s also an
opportunity for audience
participation.
According to Jim Moon,
“Progressive Farmer” ad
vertising manager and the
project coordinator, “At our
computer mart, product dis
plays and ‘how to’ demon
strations give the Sunbelt
visitor an idea of what’s on
the market, how best to
adapt it for individual use,
and even practical hands-on
experience.”
IBM, Apple and Radio
Shack exhibitor applications
are on the way, according to
Moon. Representatives of
these companies, the
Georgia Extension Service
and other agri-computer
specialists are slated for
demonstrations and instruc
tional sessions.
There is no admission fee
for the Sunbelt Expo com
puter center, or for any of
the exhibits and entertain
ment at the show.
