Agtegra Cooperative is building a place where neighbors, families and travelers can connect, fuel up and feel at home by constructing a new Travel Center on the east side of Aberdeen. Located at the corner of U.S. Highway 12 and Brown County 14, the Travel Center will serve everyone from truckers to local families on the go.

“This Travel Center is about creating a place that feels like family,” said Jason Klootwyk, Agtegra CEO. “It’s more than a stop along the highway - it’s a space that will welcome travelers while giving back to the farmers and ranchers who built this cooperative. Every gallon pumped there will strengthen our member equity and reinforce our commitment to the people who make this community strong.”

The state-of-the-art Travel Center will offer a variety of services, including fresh-made meals, clean amenities and well-lit fuel and diesel pumps with easy access for trucks and farm equipment.

“This Travel Center is about more than convenience - it’s about connection,” said Milt Handcock, Agtegra Senior Vice President of Energy. “This new Travel Center will be a place where travelers and community members cross paths, catch up and feel right at home.”

Construction is starting soon, with doors expected to open in late 2026.
