Tommy IrvinSpeaking of Sunbelt Ag Expo. What do you do when you’re running for re-election as Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture? You throw a cow milking contest.

This is Tommy Irvin and he’s going to be battling other southeast ag commissioners for the title of Supreme Sunbelt Cow-Milking Champion.

He’ll be competing with Alabama Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks and Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson. All the commissioners have “considerable experience.” They’ll compete tomorrow at 2:30 p.m.

More than 200,000 visitors are expected to attend the 100-acre event that is considered the world’s largest farm show. The Tuesday through Thursday expo touts 1,200 exhibits coupled with field demonstrations.
