AGP is proud to play a key role in the launch of AITX’s special edition America 250 covered hopper, a commemorative railcar honoring 250 years of American commerce and the freight rail network that keeps our country moving. The railcar is wrapped in a striking American flag and bald eagle design, complete with an AGP logo. It recently arrived at AGP’s David City, NE facility, where it will soon be placed into active service supporting the Company’s soybean processing operations. The America 250 project brings together partners from across the rail and agriculture industries, and AGP is honored to be part of this national celebration. The railcar will travel thousands of miles across the country, serving as a moving tribute to the people, products, and supply chains that power American agriculture. For AGP, its arrival represents both a patriotic milestone and a reminder of the essential role cooperatives plays in feeding and fueling the world each day. “This project is a great reminder of how agriculture, transportation, and American craftsmanship come together to keep our supply chain strong,” said Dave McCool, AGP Director of Rail Equipment and Leasing. “We’re excited to have this railcar in our fleet and to be part of such a meaningful celebration of our nation’s history. Thanks to the team at David City for getting the car prepped to go into service.”
AGP recently hosted an Employee Appreciation Lunch as a way to thank our employees for their hard work and dedication. Team members enjoyed a catered meal, refreshments, and a friendly cornhole tournament, providing an opportunity to connect with coworkers and celebrate our team's contributions. We appreciate all that our employees do to help make AGP successful!

This summer, AGP contributed $50,000 to the Siouxland Recovery Fund to help with flood relief efforts in the area. The fund helps support organizations and nonprofits that offer assistance or aid to people recovering from the flood. Parts of Iowa and South Dakota experienced historic rainfall and catastrophic flooding in late June. Wayne Johnson, AGP Vice President of Transportation, presented the check on behalf of AGP. He is pictured with Heather Hennings, President of United Way of Siouxland.
