The Certified Agriculture Group (TCAG) is proud to announce the American Paint Horse Association (APHA) as the first Affiliate member group for AgPack and the Certified Agriculture Dealer program. As part of this strategic marketing relationship, each member of APHA will automatically receive their individual personalized AgPack number. Once activated by the member they can then use it to access their AgPack benefits when purchasing a new or qualified pre-owned pickup truck from any of more than 200 Certified Agriculture Dealers spread across the US.
“This is another first for TCAG, the only agricultural program in the automotive market,” noted Patrick Driscoll, CEO. “Creating a member affiliate program will more quickly help APHA members be able to access the AgPack benefits which can quickly add up to more than $35,000* in real operational savings for ranch and farm operations.”
“We are thrilled to be joining forces with Certified Agriculture Group as the newest Corporate Partner of APHA,” noted Kurt Crawford, Director of Business Development for APHA. “As a valued partner of the APHA, the benefits provided through this organization will provide several valuable opportunities to save money on items used daily by our members. Together we will be sowing seeds of change and harvesting progress for all.”
“At TCAG, we are constantly working to improve the pickup truck purchase & ownership experience for America’s farm & ranch families,” added Peyton Valentine, Experiential Manager for TCAG. “
