About Our Event

The Ag Expo was first held at Northside High School by Beaufort County Schools in 2013. Since the beginning, the Expo has been designed to expose high school students in Eastern North Carolina to as many agriculture related career possibilities as one event can offer. The emphasis is placed on education after high school (college or career training), agriculture safety and exploring the diverse agriculture related career opportunities. In 2018, more than 1,000 students from 15 counties attended the event. With the 2019 event, we hope to increase not only the number of students attending but also the number of counties participating. That goal is already becoming a reality thanks in part to the support of our local county farm bureaus.
