AG Partners Cooperative, Inc. of Seneca, Kansas sponsors Ubg 401(k) - AG Partners, a 401(k) plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025 shows 233 participants (201 active) and $8.6M in net assets.
Net assets came to $31,458 per participant in plan year 2024, well below the $60,185 median for defined contribution plans with 100 to 249 participants and well below the $42,336 median for defined contribution plans in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $169K during the year, or $843 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,447; participants contributed $629K and $267K arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $661K.
Schedule C lists 3 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $23K: $96.65 per participant, well below the same-size median of $194. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $23K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $4.9M in 2019 to $8.6M in 2025 (up 74%), and participants from 214 to 233 (up 9%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is Ubg 401(k) - AG Partners?
233 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2025, of whom 201 were active employees, with net assets of $8,551,554. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 100 to 249 participants band, which held 21,996 plans in plan year 2024.
What does AG Partners Cooperative, Inc. contribute per participant?
The filing reports $169,496 in employer contributions for the year, which is $843 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,447 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $22,520 in compensation to service provider organisations, $96.65 per participant or 0.26% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $194 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $22,520. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is AG Partners Cooperative, Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: Empower Annuity Insurance Company O and United Benefits Group. Investment advisory or management: Intellicents Investment Solutions I. The financial statements were audited by Lindburg Vogel Pierce Faris, Chtd.. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2025 to 31 Dec 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 12 Aug 2026. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
