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.
