Ag Valley Co-op is pleased to announce the acquisition of the former Scoular grain facility in Hershey, Nebraska. The purchase strengthens Ag Valley’s existing grain network in west-central Nebraska and reinforces the cooperative’s long-term commitment to investing in the region’s producers.
Located just west of North Platte, the Hershey facility complements Ag Valley’s existing grain operations by adding additional receiving capacity and providing producers with another convenient delivery location.
“We’re excited to welcome the Hershey facility to Ag Valley,” said Jeff Krejdl, CEO of Ag Valley Co-op. “This investment demonstrates our confidence in the future of agriculture in west-central Nebraska. By strengthening our grain network, we’re able to better serve producers with additional marketing opportunities, increased capacity, and the local service they’ve come to expect from Ag Valley.”
The acquisition supports Ag Valley’s ongoing strategy of investing in infrastructure that improves efficiency while creating long-term value for its member-owners. With established operations in nearby North Platte, the Hershey location enhances the cooperative’s ability to serve producers throughout the region.
“As a farmer-owned cooperative, we’re continually looking for opportunities to improve the services we provide our members,” Krejdl said. “Adding the Hershey facility allows us to better position our grain team to meet the needs of producers today while continuing to Build Tomorrow Together.”
Ag Valley will begin integrating the Hershey facility into its grain operations and looks forward to serving both current and new customers from the location.
