AgPack, Designed By Farmers For Farmers, Now Available In Pasco

Earlier this year, McCurley Chevrolet in Pasco, WA became a Certified Agriculture Dealership, meaning they can now offer AgPack to customers across the Northwest. Pat Driscoll with Certified Agriculture Dealership said this program started 12 years ago, as a way to help farmers find a return on their pickup truck. Driscoll noted it can be frustrating for farmers to use their truck daily, but never see a return on investment. So, they aim to help farmers find that ROI.

“That's what AgPack does, is it gives farmers and ranchers access to savings on their operation through a single channel," Driscoll said. "And that's the purchase of their truck from a certified agriculture dealer. And that's a new truck or a used truck. You get AgPack either way. You get AgPack on top of any OEM incentives that might be out there.”

An Experience Built With The Farmer In Mind

Driscoll said Certified Ag Dealerships also work to better the shopping experience for farmers and ranchers. He said their goal is to make a visit to the dealership no different than stopping at any other ag focused businesses.

“The truck dealer is different than tractor dealer, feed dealer, seed dealer, whatever, all the other dealers I work with only work with me," Driscoll pointed out. "The truck dealership is very different. I'm bringing all those other dealer experiences with me to the truck dealership and I'm disappointed when I don't get it. So, we're trying to change that. We're helping McCurley be an agriculture truck dealership just like you'd run into at the Deere of the Case store, right?”

McCurley Is The Star In The Northwest

And Driscoll stressed that the staff at McCurley has totally embraced the Certified Ag Dealership designation, adding in the first couple of months, they were able to sell north of 40 farm pickup trucks.

"They're the star in the Northwest, but they're also a star nationally," Driscoll said. "We're taking a look at what they've done and we're adjusting how we train other dealers around the country so that it reflects how McCurley has put this program into play in the dealership and the commitment that they've made the agriculture customer.”

Driscoll added farmers that purchase AgPack can enjoy discounts and deals from others within agriculture, from chemical to irrigation, construction to boots and clothing. Click Here to learn more about AgPack, and the potential discounts.
