In this episode, we’re reporting straight from Las Vegas at the NFR, where Peyton Valentine and I have spent days talking to thousands of people about AGwagon®. The excitement around this truck has been next-level—folks keep stopping us to say they’ve seen it in the arena, online, or through the Pro Fantasy Rodeo giveaway. The momentum behind this project is real, and it’s growing fast.

Peyton and I break down the questions we’ve been asked over and over — how AGwagon works, how you order one through your local dealer, and why this upfit package is built for people who depend on their trucks to make a living. Farmers, ranchers, rodeo athletes, oilfield workers—everyone under the Ag umbrella has been connecting with it because it was designed by the people who use it. And yes, that includes us.

We also dive into the AGwagon® PRORODEO Special Edition, our partnership with Fox Factory Vehicles, and The Certified Ag Group suite of products: AgPack®, CADFi, and CADProtect. These tools are making the buying process smarter, more flexible, and more affordable—and the support from dealers, partners, and customers has been overwhelming.

The best part? Watching people sit in these trucks, feel the build quality, and understand immediately why AGwagon matters. For the first time, agriculture and rodeo have a real voice in the automotive industry—and this episode is all about how that voice is getting louder.

In this episode of the Drivin’ Agriculture Podcast, host Jordan Jo Hollabaugh sits down with Jason from GEN-Y Hitch, one of the newest partners in The Certified Agriculture Group’s AgPack® program. From humble garage beginnings to becoming a major player in the towing world, GEN-Y’s story is one every farmer, rancher, and rodeo hand can relate to.

Jason breaks down how GEN-Y Hitch was born from Carl Burkholder’s simple solution to a daily problem—creating the first Mega-Duty by stacking receiver tubes and adding a dual ball. That innovation grew into a full patented lineup built for real, hard-working use. He also explains TorsionFlex technology, GEN-Y’s shock-absorbing system that delivers a smoother, safer ride—keeping drivers more comfortable and protecting everything from horses to RVs along the way.

You’ll also hear how GEN-Y backs their products with 100% satisfaction, a limited lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects, real humans answering the phone, and an exclusive AgPack offer: 20% off anything on genyhitch.com for AgPack ID holders—whether it’s the Mega-Duty, Boss, Spartan, Executive pin box, or lightweight aluminum loading ramps.

Tune in to hear why this partnership is more than just a new AgPack perk—it’s a win for anyone who hauls, works, or lives on the road. Whether you’re a rancher, roper, hauler, or someone who appreciates gear built to last, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.

In this episode, host Jordan Jo Hollabaugh sits down with Jake Peterson of Alkota Cleaning Systems, a South Dakota–built, farmer-rooted company that’s been making industrial-grade hot water pressure washers since 1964. From black dirt and snow-packed iron to rodeo rigs that never seem to stay clean, Alkota builds machines designed for the real-world messes of agriculture.

Jake shares how Alkota was born out of a small farm town in Alcester, South Dakota, and shaped by farmers who needed simple, tough, and fixable equipment. Instead of throwaway pressure washers with proprietary parts, Alkota builds systems where every part is repairable and replaceable, backed by a strong distributor network and USA-made craftsmanship.

They break down what makes Alkota different—200-degree hot water, diesel-fired burners, in-house rolled coils, trailer units that can go straight to the field, and custom builds that match exactly what your operation needs. And for AgPack® customers, Jake unveils a powerful offer: 25% off their Elite Series and 15% off the rest of the Alcoda lineup through the AgPack program.

Tune in to hear why this partnership is more than just another discount—it’s a game changer for keeping your rigs, barns, and equipment working the way they should. Whether you’re farming, ranching, rodeoing, or just tired of fighting caked-on dirt, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

This Veterans Day, host Jordan Jo Hollabaugh sits down with Steele Hunter — U.S. Marine Corps veteran and founder of Mil-Spec Liner and FuelBox — for a conversation that goes far beyond trucks and tools.

From his early days on the yellow footprints at MCRD San Diego to leading teams in business with the same integrity and discipline he learned in the Corps, Steele shares how service, sacrifice, and leadership shape everything he does.

They talk about passing patriotism through generations, the lessons that never leave a Marine, and the power of simple acts of kindness that remind every veteran their service still matters.

A heartfelt tribute to those who serve — and a reminder that honoring our veterans starts with living a life of purpose, unity, and gratitude.

We’re back on the floor at the National FFA Convention for Part 2 of our special edition of Drivin’ Agriculture! Host Pat Driscoll, CEO of The Certified Agriculture Group, takes the mic while Jordan Jo Hollabaugh steps into the co-pilot seat this week—and we’re bringing you stories straight from the heart of agriculture’s next generation.

In this packed episode, Pat sits down with Darla Lindt, Director of Business Development for the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association), to talk about the partnership between PRORODEO and The Certified AgricultureGroup, the buzz around the AGwagon® PRORODEO Special Edition, and the excitement building for the upcoming Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

Then, it’s time to hit the convention floor. You’ll hear from passionate FFA members including:

• Jackson and Ira Cleary (Auburn University / Weaver FFA, Alabama)
• James Phinney (Southeast Warren FFA, Iowa)
• Joe Zook and Kellen Ireland (North Montgomery FFA, Indiana)
• Andrew Grant Randolph (Bridgeport, West Virginia)

These young leaders share what keeps them coming back to convention year after year—from the “sea of blue” to the hands-on look at the AGwagon® that’s changing how farmers think about trucks built for agriculture.

We wrap up with a heartfelt conversation with Abigale Jacobsen, National FFA Officer from Elk Grove, California, as she reflects on her incredible year of service, the lessons learned from members coast to coast (including a powerful moment in Puerto Rico), and what’s next as she heads back to Chico State University to continue her journey in animal science.

From PRORODEO partnerships to first-gen farmers and future ag educators, this episode celebrates the energy, innovation, and passion driving agriculture forward.

On this episode of Drivin’ Agriculture, host Jordan Jo Hollabaugh sits down with two powerhouse women shaping the future of agriculture — Molly Ball, Chief Marketing Officer and President of the National FFA Foundation, and Peyton Valentine from The Certified Agriculture Group.

Together, they dive into what makes the FFA community so impactful — from over 1 million student members and 9,500 local chapters across the U.S. to the teachers, mentors, and leaders who keep the blue jackets thriving.

Molly shares a behind-the-scenes look at the 98th National FFA Convention, a record-breaking event bringing together thousands of students, educators, and ag industry leaders. The conversation explores everything from career development and mentorship to women in ag leadership and the continued mission to build confidence, skill, and purpose in the next generation of agriculturalists.

Peyton reflects on her own roots in FFA, how it built her confidence as a woman in agriculture, and what The Certified Agriculture Group is bringing to this year’s convention — including the AGwagonTM, a first-of-its-kind, purpose-built farm and ranch truck designed by farmers and ranchers themselves.

This episode is all about growth, community, and legacy — the kind of conversation that reminds us agriculture isn’t just about crops and cattle… it’s about people, passion, and the promise of the future.

Tune in and hear how the next generation is driving ag forward — one blue jacket at a time.

In this episode, I sit down with the two  newest AgPack partners—RealTruck and Chute Help—and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome them to the Drivin’ Ag Podcast.

• First, I chatted with Joseph “Joey” Scelza from RealTruck. He walks us through how RealTruck grew from brands like Husky Liners and Truck Hero into the go-to name for truck accessories. From tonneau covers to floor liners, RealTruck has everything for anything with wheels—except scooters (sorry!). Even better? They’re offering a 15% discount to the AgPack family, making premium products more accessible to those of us in farming, ranching and rodeo. Joey’s passion for supporting rural America shines through, and it’s clear this partnership is rooted in more than just great gear—it’s about building a community.
• Next, I caught up with Austin Laramore, co-founder of Chute Help. His story is personal. Austin and his grandpa built the very first Chute Help in a small Colorado shop, solving the real problem of roping chutes freezing in the winter. That original idea sparked a line of patented, innovative equipment designed for performance, durability, and ease—because when time is short and you want to rope, your gear shouldn’t slow you down. Austin also shares their new partnership with Tarter Farm & Ranch Equipment and how their 15% AgPack discount is helping more ropers and ranchers get the tools they need.

From RealTruck’s cutting-edge accessories to Chute Help’s made-by-ropers-for-ropers innovation, this episode is all about building better, smarter solutions for agriculture —while staying grounded in faith, family, and hard work.

In this episode, we brought the whole crew together to kick off summer the right way. From horse trailers to bull rides, dumpster runs to diaper changes, we’re covering all the behind-the-scenes chaos and camaraderie that make up life on the rodeo trail.

You’ll hear from:

• Jordan Jo Hollabaugh - I'm gearing up to rope close to 80 breakaway calves this season while keeping this podcast rolling and repping AgTruckTrader everywhere I go.
  
  
• Jackie Ganter - She’s kicking off her summer in Canada, chasing another qualification for the Canadian Finals and loving the smaller pens where her horse thrives.
  
  
• Taylor Santos - He’s back on the road this year with his wife and newborn son, and giving us the inside scoop on balancing family, rodeo logistics, and staying sharp in both the tripping and tie-down pens.
  
  
• Leighton Berry - Our team captain is taking time off to heal and grow his North Texas dumpster rental business—all while learning the ropes of fatherhood.
  
  
• Clayton Sellars - He’s in the thick of bull riding season, flying coast to coast and about to log major miles in the team’s first AGwagonTM.
  
  
• Peyton Valentine - The glue that keeps us all together and the engine behind our AgTruckTrader activations. She’s hitting 14 rodeos this summer, supporting the team and telling the AgTruckTrader story on the road.

We may be headed in different directions this summer, but we’re one team, one mission—and we’re proud to roll coal for ag and rodeo every mile of the way.

Saddle up and ride along with us—this is just the beginning.

In this episode, I sat down with two rockstars in the ag and irrigation world: Jake Beam, Technical Sales Manager at Reinke Manufacturing, and Jay Brown, owner of Brown Irrigation and an AgPack power user. We’re diving into what Smart Irrigation really means—and how it’s transforming farms of every size across the country.

We talked about my own roots growing up on a small alfalfa hay farm in Colorado, and how different regions irrigate in completely different ways. Jake walked us through the pivot technology behind Reinke’s new E3 system and how uniformity and efficiency are changing everything. Jay shared how farmers today are literally managing irrigation from their phones and making better decisions every hour instead of every season.

We got into the concept of micro-adjustments—those small changes that, over time, can have a huge impact on fuel savings, fertilizer use, and long-term sustainability. And of course, we dug into how the AgPack Program helps growers get access to serious savings on trusted irrigation systems, parts, and more.

It wasn’t all tech talk—we laughed about family farms, the chaos of chicken counts, and why good equipment makes all the difference when you’re setting your operation up for success, not just this year, but for generations.

If you’ve ever wondered what smart irrigation looks like in the real world—or how technology can actually support your bottom line—this is one episode you don’t want to miss.

Shot on location at the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo, this episode marks a major milestone—it’s the very first PRCA rodeo where the AGwagon was on display since being announced as the Official Agricultural Truck of PRORODEO. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to kick things off than Santa Maria.

Our guest, Tina Tonascia, helps run the Santa Maria Elks Rodeo and is the heart behind the Golden Circle of Champions—a powerful program that honors children battling pediatric cancer. Tina walks us through the rodeo’s 82-year history, its deep roots in the PRCA, and the incredible impact of this year’s queen contestants who raised over $800,000 for local nonprofits.

We talk about the Golden Circle’s origins in Santa Maria, and how it continues to bring joy, support, and unforgettable moments to children and their families.

Then we hop inside the AGwagon, parked right at the rodeo grounds, and go over the features that have everyone buzzing—from its 28 ag-designed modifications to the luxury comfort that makes it feel more like a high-end SUV than a heavy-duty truck. Tina’s favorite part? Finally getting to sit down and soak in the experience after a whirlwind week of rodeo action.

We also sit down with Mark Hawkins, General Manager at Santa Maria Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Mark shares how his dealership became a certified ag dealer, and why stepping up to support the ag community through programs like AGwagon just made sense in a place surrounded by farming on every side. His favorite AGwagon features? Rugged cat-skin leather seats that can handle daily wear—and an onboard air compressor with a 30-foot hose made for field-ready practicality.

From big moments in the arena to behind-the-scenes teamwork, this episode is all about legacy, innovation, and the kind of rodeo hospitality that leaves a mark.

In this episode of Drivin’ Agriculture, I’m sitting down with two powerhouse guests—Jay Holcomb from Stephen Wade Auto Group and Nick Mayo from FOX Factory—to talk about all things AGwagon and walk through what the customer experience really looks like from start to finish.

This isn’t just another truck episode. We’re talking about a purpose-built farm and ranch truck—designed by people who actually work the land, haul the loads, and live in the dirt. From getting your AgPack (worth over $45,000 in rebates) to choosing the right dealer and financing your build with CADFi, we break down how AGwagon is changing the game for farmers, ranchers, and rodeo folks alike.

Jay shares what it's like offering these rigs from the dealer perspective—why exclusivity matters and how being a Certified Ag Dealer sets them apart. Nick walks us through how FOX Factory Vehicles took their experience building high-end trucks and turned it into something that actually serves our lifestyle—durable, practical, and ready to work on day one.

We even talk about CADProtect, an extended warranty that covers the kind of real off-road work most others won’t touch. Whether you’re buying off the lot or custom-building your dream truck, the AGwagon is built for our kind of life—fast, functional, and full of grit.

Listen in and roll with us—we’re getting into everything that makes the AGwagon more than just a truck. It’s a tool. It’s a difference-maker. And it’s built for people like us.

Drivin' Agriculture Podcast | Episode 8 | Built for the Road Ahead: Inside the PRORODEO Edition AGwagon

In this episode of Drivin’ Agriculture, we sit down with PRCA’s Darla Lindt and AgTruckTrader Pro Rodeo Team Captain Leighton Berry to unveil a groundbreaking collaboration in the world of rodeo-ready vehicles — the PRORODEO Special Edition AGwagon

After months of development between The Certified Agriculture Group, PRCA, and FOX Factory Vehicles, this isn’t just another truck. It's the first-ever PRCA-licensed Special Edition AGwagon, meticulously designed with input from real rodeo athletes and ag professionals. From integrated Starlink capabilities and trailer cameras to custom hat racks and pet beds (yes, for your rodeo dogs!), the AGwagon is tailored to meet the unique needs of those living life on the road.
We explore the origins of the concept, why vehicle reliability is critical for rodeo athletes, and how small features — like suspension, storage, and trailer monitoring — can make a massive difference when you're logging 60,000 miles a year. Darla shares PRCA’s perspective on bringing this idea to life, while Leighton reflects on the road lessons that shaped their wishlists for the ultimate rig.

With laughs, insights, and a behind-the-scenes look at how this dream truck came to life, this episode highlights innovation born straight out of necessity — and built tough for rodeo life.

In this episode of the Drivin’ Agriculture Podcast, we dive into something we’ve been excited to share—the AGwagon. We sat down with Pat Driscoll from the Certified Ag Group to unpack how this one-of-a-kind truck came to life—from a simple handshake to a fully customized, purpose-built ag vehicle designed by farmers, ranchers, and rodeo athletes just like us.

What makes the AGwagon different? Everything. It’s not just a truck—it’s a solution to the everyday needs we all face in the field, on the road, or at the rodeo. Pat walks us through the vision, the people behind it, and how the Certified Ag Group brought together 14 producers from across the country to create a base model packed with 28 real-world modifications—each one shaped by ag professionals who live the life every day.

We also had the chance to sit down with Jim Mueller, owner of Whiskey Ranch Horse & Cattle and a well-respected figure in the performance horse world. Jim was one of the producers invited to be part of that panel of ag voices who helped design the AGwagon from the ground up. In our conversation, he shared what it meant to be included in a process where Fox Factory actually listened—taking time to understand what producers truly need in a truck, and how function and durability matter more than flash.

To bring it full circle, Peyton Valentine sat down with Flynn Woods, Sr. Manager of Product Development at Fox Factory, to explore how that feedback was transformed into engineering. Flynn walked us through the entire build process—from design, to working with suppliers, to passing the truck on to the integration team, who installs each component by hand. Once complete, every AGwagon undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it performs exactly how we need it to. He also highlighted exclusive features like a built-in air pump with a retractable hose and a 360-degree lighting system—functional elements that set the AGwagon apart from anything else on the market.

Whether you're hauling horses, feeding cattle, or chasing your next rodeo, this episode is packed with insight into a truck that was truly built for us—and how you can get your hands on one.

Welcome back to Drivin’ Agriculture, where we live and breathe agriculture—trucks, rodeo, and the hardworking people who keep this industry moving. In this special episode, we’re diving into one of the most exciting events in ag: AgRally.

Presented by John Deere, AgRally is more than just a farm show. It’s an immersive, high-energy celebration that brings together the best of the industry. From live field demonstrations and product reveals to performances, this event is where agriculture’s past, present, and future collide.

We sit down with the legendary Mark Oppold and Pat Driscoll to explore the origins of AgRally and how it has grown into a can’t-miss event. We talk about the impact it has on the farming and ranching community, the power of the Certified Ag Dealer Program, and how AgPack partners are bringing real financial value to those of us in the industry. We also discuss how AgRally blends work and entertainment, giving us a chance to celebrate while staying on top of the latest innovations, from precision equipment upgrades to the future of autonomous technology.

For those of us in agriculture, this isn’t just another event—it’s our New Year’s celebration. It’s a time to come together, share stories, and look ahead to the future of the industry we love.
