Ag Processing Inc., or AGP, has reached a major milestone at its new soybean processing facility in David City, Nebraska, shipping the first-ever U.S. unit train of soybean oil. The cooperative says the shipment highlights its investment in value-added agriculture and renewable fuels while creating additional demand for soybeans grown by its farmer-members. The David City plant, which opened in 2025, was designed to efficiently load unit trains of both soybean meal and soybean oil.
“This milestone reflects what AGP has always been about, finding innovative ways to create more value for our cooperative owners while serving the evolving needs of our customers,” said Senior Vice President of Oils and Energy Courtney Lawrenson.
The announcement comes as demand for soybean oil continues to grow following EPA’s increased biomass-based diesel volumes under the Renewable Fuel Standard. AGP says the expanded rail capacity will strengthen domestic supply chains while supporting renewable diesel and biodiesel production.
