Southern Farm Show begins with questions about bird flu impact

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Southern Farm Show begins today at the North Carolina State Fair, where farmers and agricultural experts get together to workshop what's happening in our state.

A big question right now for folks is the impact the bird flu is having on our eggs and how the recovery in western NC is impacting our goods.

The state AG commissioner will be there where he is expected to explain this, but also talk about other factors impacting farmers.

The three-day event is full of 400 exhibitors, agricultural meetings, workshops and training, and everything farmers need to prepare for the coming growing season.

Everything will run until Friday at 6:00 p.m. and tickets are available online.
