For the past few years visitors to the Sunbelt Ag Expo, “North America’s Premiere Farm Show,” have gotten added value from the Sunbelt Ag Expo mobile app. The benefits will be even better this year.

“Our mobile apps and multiple digital products provide timely, reliable information during the Expo and afterward,” said Greg Frey, Farm Press publisher. “Also, our mobile Expo app provides Farm Press content year-round. No other agriculture publication offers that option.”

“The Sunbelt Ag Expo 2016 App is the ‘go-to’ source of information for the Sunbelt Ag Expo, as well as industry news, weather, and updates in the Southeastern Ag industry,” said Sunbelt Ag Expo Marketing Director Gina McDonald. “Any news posted to the Southeastern Farm Press website can be accessed through this app.”

Frey says the mobile app has been “transformed this year to make it more interactive and with rich digital content updated to the website. We will have a more robust content package for the 2016 Sunbelt Ag Expo.”

Frey says upgrades to the app include better accessibility, improved speed, more interaction, and better visibility.

To begin planning your trip to the Expo, search your app store for “Sunbelt Ag Expo 2016” to download the app today.

The Sunbelt Ag Expo app is sponsored by Farm Press, Sunbelt Ag Expo and Reinke irrigation.
