At Agtegra Cooperative, our devotion to superior service, relentless innovation and member success is at the forefront of everything we do. We give members access to the best products, services and in-field assistance to maximize their production.
Agtegra Cooperative was formed in February 2018 from a unification of two legacy-rich, farmer-owned cooperatives.
Agtegra Cooperative is governed by an elected board of directors who represent four territorial districts and one at-large district. Each director is an active agricultural member.
Agtegra Cooperative is dedicated to providing the safest workplace possible for all our employees and member-owners. We believe safety is of utmost importance.
Agtegra Cooperative is an innovative, farmer-owned grain and agronomy cooperative with more than 6,700 active member-owners in eastern North and South Dakota. In addition to offering grain and agronomy services, Agtegra offers its members aerial application services, fuel, feed, and precision ag hardware and software products and services. Agtegra Cooperative promotes agricultural sustainability through the best applications of science and technology in an effort to assist farmers in the production of a safe, healthy and abundant supply of grain in an economically viable system.
Agtegra Cooperative was formed in February 2018 from a unification of two legacy-rich, farmer-owned cooperatives – 95-year-old South Dakota Wheat Growers (Aberdeen) and 103-year-old North Central Farmers Elevator (Ipswich, SD). Both cooperatives formed at the turn of the 20th Century to serve their pioneer customers and communities. Across the sparsely settled countryside, the economic advantages of joining together gave rise to the cooperative legacy of service, value and working together. Over the years, generations of members have worked and adapted to the changes that have occurred throughout agriculture. Today, at farmer-owned Agtegra, that legacy-rich, future-focused cooperative spirit continues to thrive. Our devotion to superior service, relentless innovation and member success is at the forefront of everything we do. We give members access to the best products, services and in-field assistance to maximize their production. We dedicate our efforts to safety of our employees and members in all that we do. And we commit to supporting our members and their communities for generations to come.
Agtegra Cooperative is governed by a board made up of active agricultural producers that are elected by our 6,770 members.

At Agtegra, we believe there’s nothing more important than safety. Farming, grain operations, crop protection product handling, and agriprocessing – these can be hazardous jobs if safety isn’t made the top priority. That’s why Agtegra adopted BASE: Behaviors Achieving Safety Excellence. Essentially, it’s a plan to enlist the eyes and ears of every Agtegra employee to observe how we work and make suggestions on ways to improve safety. Agtegra is dedicated to providing the safest workplace possible for all our employees and member-owners.
Creating a Culture of Safety • Vice President of Safety and Environmental Affairs, Bill Spreeman, who brings more than 30 years’ experience to the position. • Designated regional safety managers help carry safety initiatives throughout Agtegra’s trade territory. • Regional safety managers will utilize continuing education and safety training events across the entire organization to facilitate ongoing identification of safety strengths and areas for improvement.
