Agtegra Cooperative is committed to building a stronger farmer-owned cooperative. They are also committed to exploring additional ways to support our member-owners.

North Star Energy, LLC (NSE) is a propane business based out of Aberdeen that serves customers in North Dakota and South Dakota. NSE is currently owned equally by three partners, one of which is Agtegra Cooperative. Agtegra was recently approached to purchase the remaining two-thirds ownership interest in NSE.

Agtegra’s Board of Directors has approved purchasing each of the other partner’s ownership interests and purchase agreements were recently signed. This purchase further strengthens Agtegra’s Energy Division to better serve its customers. Effective, July 1, 2019, NSE will become part of Agtegra Cooperative.

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.
