Vendor Visits: Getting Helpful Info At The TCA Convention

For this episode of TCA Talk, we will be sharing some of the vendor visits that we made with the experts in the booths that were set up onsite at the 2026 TCA Convention. Our first stop on this tour brought us to see the folks from AgCentral Farmers Co‑Op, which is based in Athens, Tenn. AgCentral, as we learned, operates 11 facilities and service producers across Tennessee, Kentucky, North Georgia, Virginia, and the Carolinas. The co-op provides agricultural retail and wholesale services, including feed manufacturing, grain bin and feed hopper installation, fencing, and dairy parlor construction. While giving us an overview of what the company does and how they work in the production ag industry, the guys in the MetalMax booth noted how much they enjoy the unique opportunities that the TCA Convention provides for them. The Trans Ova booth served as our final stop on this edition of the podcast. We spent some time with Erin Womack talking about some of the science that is becoming a part of production ag as well as some of the questions she received while onsite at the 2026 edition of the TCA Convention.
