Westfield, N.C. (April 8, 2024) – AgTruckTrader.com, part of the Certified Agriculture Group is pleased to announce Heidi Hogan of Grinnell, Iowa as the winner of the Summer ‘23 Get-A-Grip Giveaway. The winner was drawn during Trade Talk at the National Association of Farm Broadcasters annual meeting in Kansas City.
Hogan entered the Sweepstakes after a friend told her about the opportunity and went to the AgTruckTrader.com web site where any farmer and rancher could enter to win 2 Michelin 14.9R24 Agribib tires with a retail value of more than $3,400.
CFI Tire in Des Moines is the local Michelin dealer that will deliver and install the tires for Hogan.
“As the ONLY true truck marketplace in American agriculture, AgTruckTrader.com is proud to conduct this national sweepstakes to bring attention to our AgPack Partner, Michelin, as well as Certified Agricultural Dealerships across the country,” note Patrick Driscoll, president of Certified Agriculture Group. “With AgTruckTrader.com, we've created an elite network of agriculturally intelligent truck dealers—a place where farmers and ranchers feel comfortable and confident purchasing and servicing their trucks.”
Hogan resides in Grinnell, Iowa and together with Bill Owen, they operate Uncle Bill’s Farm which has been helping families enjoy fall fun and create memories for more than 25 years as an agro-entertainment operation. More than a pumpkin farm, they have hay rides to the pumpkin patch, farm animals, jumping pillows as well as a restaurant with “magical” entertainment.
Before moving to Grinnell, Uncle Bill was a native of Maxwell, Iowa. Heidi is a native of New Orleans where she managed a humane society for many years utilizing her veterinary degree. Together, Heidi and Uncle Bill continue to help animals in need and preserve farm history for future generations.
“There’s always a need for tires on the farm” noted Uncle Bill. “These tires are destined for the John Deere 4720 left to me by my father. Heidi is my right hand-man, but I couldn’t operate the farm without her and this tractor. Plus, it reminds me every day that I’m still farming with my Dad.”
“The Michelin Agribib tire builds on our trusted line of agricultural tires and offers increased benefit to our customers,” said Gary Graham, Michelin North America’s Agriculture Product Category Manager. “It is vital that we maximize our sustainable resources and take care of the land.
“Agribib tires are an all-around high performance radial tire with a long service life, super flat tread and large footprint to help reduce soil compaction and ultimately save both time and money for the agricultural professional,” added Graham.
Michelin is just one of the 21 AgPack Partners that provide a rebate or discount on their products to farmers and ranchers who purchase their new or pre-owned pickup truck from a Certified Agriculture Dealer.
