Tony shares how early hands-on experiences shaped his deep appreciation for hard work and sparked a lifelong mission to support and protect agricultural workers.\n\nWe dive into how technology is transforming the ag space, with digital tools like timekeeping apps and virtual ID cards making life easier for field workers. As part of United Ag’s Ambassador Program, Tony provides honest feedback that helps customize these tools for real-world use across diverse regions and employers.\n\nMore than just work, this episode celebrates the sense of family, community, and purpose that defines United Ag. Tony and I reflect on what it means to be part of something bigger—where work doesn’t feel like work, and where partnerships feel more like family."}
