OFI 1905: Supporting Small Towns, Farming, 4H & FFA - A Great American Company | Chris Baker | Les Schwab Tire Centers

Les Schwab Tire Centers is a sponsor of the Off-Farm Income Podcast, and I have been one of their customers for many years. When Autumm and I first moved to Kuna after purchasing our farm, Les Schwab Tire Centers did too. This was well before Kuna started to explode with houses and it became obvious that there was money to be made in our community. This move was about providing service into what was still a small, farming community, and I have always appreciated that. I have spoke about Les Schwab Tire Centers on the show many times over the years, even though their sponsorship just began in 2023. The reason has been Hattie's involvement in 4H and later in the FFA. Every exhibitor livestock auction I have attended at our local county fair has always had a contingent of managers from all the different Les Schwab Tire Centers in our valley present in the stands. They are there in great numbers, they are there all day and they are bidding on every species of livestock. Les Schwab Tire Centers is single handedly responsible for making sure that all of these projects get sold and for raising the average price of these projects. I truly believe that without the contribution of this great company that many of our exhibitors would have a difficult time getting their money back, let along making a profit. However, year after year, species after species, Les Schwab Tire Centers are there to make sure that this does not happen. I am fortunate to have this company that I am such a big fan of as a sponsor, and I am thrilled to feature them on today's episode. Joining me is Chris Baker. He is the Area Manager of all the Southern Idaho Les Schwab Tire Centers, stretching from Oregon to Wyoming. He is also really passionate about this company and what he does. In today's episode we will discuss a lot of specifics of the tire business as well as what Les Schwab Tire Centers provides, how they got there and the philosophy behind that.
