Every day is Ag Day in North Carolina, but on November 19th, farmers & agricultural leaders were recognized for their contributions to the state at the NCSU Wolfpack versus Miami football game. The North Carolina Soybean Producers Association was a proud sponsor of the 4th Annual Ag Day at N.C. State University. NCSPA had booths set up in both the Fan Zone and at the CALS Tailgate.

Outside in the Fan Zone, the Northeast Ag Expo Agri-Pride Simulator was the main feature and it was a hit! Everyone enjoyed the simulator from kids to N.C. Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler! The Agri-Pride Simulator, features the harvest of soybeans, wheat, cotton, and corn. The driver has their option of choosing their crop and will learn about that crop while they are harvesting.
N.C. Farm Bureau President, Larry Wooten was also impressed with the Agri-Pride Simulator!
