Agtegra Receives $6 Million USDA Grant for Fertilizer Expansion

USDA announced investments to incentivize domestic fertilizer production. One of the groups receiving funding through the Fertilizer Production Expansion Program is Agtegra Cooperative in South Dakota with a $6 million grant for expanding its prescription agronomics business. “We’re very excited about the impact this will have on the farmers in our region,” said CEO Jason Klootwyk. “There’s increased access to locally-produced starter fertilizers, ensuring that farmers have the necessary nutrients tailored to their specific soil needs and this grant allows us to create jobs and stimulate local economies through growth, as well.”
