Episode 5
The Local Standard
With special guest Chace Pruismann
In this episode, we sit down with Chase Pruisman, General Manager of our Fort Dodge location, to talk about the local dealership experience and what stands behind it. Chase shares his path from self-described “city kid” to GM of a store he used to drive past dreaming about someday owning, and the changes he’s brought to Fort Dodge over the last two years.
We get into the history of the store, from Brokaw Supply back in 1958 all the way to Parallel Ag today, the new Vermeer and Kinze lines built right there in Iowa, and the work happening behind the scenes to keep customers taken care of. Chase also breaks down what 24/7 parts and service actually looks like in practice, whether that’s a 1:30am phone call or a middle-of-the-night drive across state lines for a single part.
Introduction to the Parallel Path
In our first episode, the Parallel Ag marketing team shares how this podcast got started, the story behind our merger, and what makes our approach to serving customers different.
The Momentum Shift
Alecia is joined by Kirby Woods and Isaac Hill from Fendt, along with farmer Grant Strom, to talk through what actually matters when it comes to planting performance. Not just specs and features, but what it looks like in real fields across different conditions.
The Cutting Window
We are joined by Steven Roberts out of Dalhart and Greg McClure, our Southern Plains sales director, to talk through what commercial hay really looks like day to day – and what it takes to stay ahead of Mother Nature when every operation is breaking loose at once.
