Starting out as a simple brand that farmers & ranchers could use to identify ag-friendly truck dealers, Certified Agriculture has grown to become a vertically integrated agribusiness platform truck dealers can use to build their agriculture based sales and fixed operations business. The only agriculture facing program in the automotive industry, Certified Agriculture delivers just as much value to farmers and ranchers, as it does dealers, through +$30,000 in farm supply savings with every truck they purchase from an Ag Dealer, convenient Ag Dealer truck shopping at AgTruckTrader.com, Ag friendly truck financing with CADFi and their own national event called AgRally.

Recognizing the vastness of the agriculture market, and and how little is known about interacting with that market, we have continued to grow our Certified Agriculture Dealership and Certified Agriculture Business products. By expanding the number of participating dealers ... brands involved ... and number of AgPack partners ... we, ultimately, are brining a previously unachieved value to our agriculture community.Not just financial value, but relational. Agriculture equipment dealers and retailers know the agriculture customer. To be expected, given that agriculture is their ONLY customer, and many of those suppliers are actually owned BY farmers and ranchers. But what about all those other businesses who supply farms and ranches, while also maintaining a large book of business with non-agriculture customers? By and large those businesses do not know the agriculture business model, or the decision making criteria of their agriculture customers. That's where we enter. We train our businesses/dealers to know what is important to this customer, why and when so they can be a better supplier to the original essential industry. With AgPack, we provide them with the value proposition agriculture customers are looking for. And, we assist them connecting with local agriculture so they can share their new found commitment to this large, and loyal base.

Historically, we've specialized in business development, new revenue streams and management assistance for festivals, events and motorsports teams.However, times do change. In the past two years we have shed most of our recreational properties in favor of a return to our agricultural roots. Inspired by Ram Trucks Super Bowl XVLII ad, proclaiming 2013 as "Year of the Farmer," we created, designed, built and have since activated for an independent agriculture certification program for truck dealers. Our curriculum is peer reviewed and endorsed, making it the only certification recognizing a businesses as "Agriculture Literate." From CAFO's to Organics, we specifically train businesses, and their professionals, on everything modern agriculture. More important, we train these professionals on what it means to be sincere partner to the farm and its family. These are businesses that are serious about knowing, and serving, their agriculture customer.This isn't to say we've completely vacated our previous activities. We've just become more focused, working very hard to find ways of supporting agricultural missions through the other channels. Our client roster has included: i2i Mobile Marketing, Furniture Row Racing (NASCAR Cup Series), Minor League Baseball Alliance (focus on non-baseball revenue opportunities for parks), Team Redington (Iditarod), WGTM:Fairs & Festivals, and WGTM:Agri-Tourism.
