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.
