“The van served us well, but it was worn out. The Tundra is a wonderful replacement, and with the long box and bed cover, we actually can haul more, larger props and displays than we could with the van,” Bernard Geschke program specialist from Papillion, Nebraska said in a release. “We no longer will have to rent a vehicle to transport our large displays to events such as the Farm Progress Show and Husker Harvest Days."
"Toyota and Progressive Ag Foundation share a similar philosophy about the importance of educating the entire family about safety awareness. We are privileged to support the expansion of the Progressive Ag Safety Day Programs as they reach more communities than ever before," Michael Rouse, TMS vice president of philanthropy and community affairs said in a release.
Next year, the Tundra is expected to travel around 12,000 miles, as it will need to attend as many of the projected 385 Safety Day events as possible. It will be driven by aforementioned Bernard Geschke.
“The Toyota Tundra is a safe, reliable, first-class vehicle, and we greatly appreciate Toyota generously supporting our program with this practical and much-needed vehicle donation,” Geschke concluded. “In addition, Performance Toyota of Omaha, Neb., took delivery of the truck, and the dealership was extremely accommodating in getting the truck ready to go.”
