ABERDEEN, S.D. – Agtegra has been taking inventory at all locations to compile as many N95 respiratory masks as possible to donate to area healthcare facilities, and nursing homes.
With the ongoing spread of COVID-19, Agtegra is committed to the health and safety of our employee team, their families, our patrons and our communities. As we enter Spring 2020, we will continue to operate our facilities for delivery of products and services while at the same time take appropriate steps to protect our employees so we can best provide critical functions in agriculture production and logistics.
This growing season we are presented with many challenges and opportunities. One challenge that should be on the front of our minds is soil health.
Due to guidance from the CDC and the South Dakota Governor dealing with the Covid-19 outbreak, at this time Agtegra Cooperative has decided to restrict all non-essential visitors at each of our locations until further notice.
While calving season is in effect, it is not too early to start thinking about factors that can play a part in making next year’s calf crop successful too.
ABERDEEN, S.D. – Members of Agtegra’s Technical Rescue Team (TRT) from Highmore, S.D. were contacted Friday, March 6 just after 4 p.m. regarding a grain bin entrapment southwest of Harrold, S.D.
Growers are very familiar with key terminology when it comes to crops. Words like maximize, optimize, and potential are common when it comes to getting the most out of yields, and with good reason.
Preventable entrapment cases and fatalities related to grain bin entry are on the rise due to less than ideal grain storage conditions.
The sound of yet another bottle calf bellering to be fed is not quite the sound every producer wants to hear, yet it is still one that will be answered with a bottle of milk and a smile as the calf jumps around, excited someone has come with food.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue issued a proclamation naming February 16-22 as Grain Bin Safety Week.
