Grading, excavating and land clearing equipment will again be a prominent part of this year's Southern Farm Show, Jan. 31 through Feb. 2 at the NC State Fairgrounds in Raleigh.

For the second time this year, equipment dealer Company Wrench will let show guests try their hand at operating its equipment in a large area in front of the grandstand. According to Company Wrench President Cam Gabbard, the ability for show guests to operate equipment was well received at the 2023 show, so they decided to offer the option again this year. According to Gabbard, factory representatives from equipment manufacturers will be at the exhibit to help those 21 and older understand how the equipment works and present prizes to the best operators.
