The Aurora Cooperative Announces
Supply Division Expansion in the Greater York County Area
Over the next six months, the company will construct and operate a class-leading, multi-purpose ag supply facility on a 14 acre site adjacent to the US-81/US-34 intersection west of York, NE. The facility will support retail agronomy and feed operations. A 24-hr. cardtrol fuel station will also be featured at that site.

Construction at both sites will begin immediately.

The Aurora Cooperative is demonstrating a true commitment to area farmers in providing next-generation agronomic solutions and accessing multiple grain markets via facility developments like Aurora West. We are pleased to expand this commitment to the greater York County area,” Hohwieler said. “Today’s announcement is further evidence of the leadership, vision, and determination of the owners/patrons of the Aurora Cooperative; American farmers who make this company the market-leading entity that it is today.”
