History
Agropecuario was founded by Bernardo Grobocopatel, a local entrepreneur related to soybean cultivation, who is also owner and president of the club.
The squad participated in now defunct Argentino A where was eliminated by C.A. French in the 2012 season. The next year, Agropecuario finished 6th out of 6 teams in the Argentino B. The club debuted in the Federal B (the regionalised 4th division) in 2014, where it was defeated by Juventud de Pergamino and eliminated from the competition.
Agropecuario promoted to Federal A in 2016 after beating San Martín de Formosa by penalty shoot-out.
The team lasted only one season in the division so in June 2017, Agropecuario crowned 2016–17 champion, therefore promoting to Primera B Nacional, the second division of Argentine football, after Gimnasia y Tiro defeated Gimnasia y Esgrima (M) by 1–0. Agropecuario also became the youngest club to achieve a promotion to B Nacional, with only 6 years of existence. Until then, Crucero del Norte had held the record with 9-yr old when it promoted in 2012.
Agropecuario har hatt en bemerkelsesverdig oppgang i det argentinske fotbalhierarkiet. De ble opprykket til Primera B Metropolitana i 2015, og til Primera B Nacional i 2017. Klubben har også nådd den siste 16-delsfinalen i Copa Argentina ved to anledninger.
Agropecuario har en beskjeden hjemmebane, Ofelia Rosenzuaig, med en kapasitet på 3000 tilskuere. Truppen består hovedsakelig av argentinske spillere, med noen få utenlandske spillere.
Klubbens nåværende hovedtrener er Manuel Fernández, som har vært i rollen siden 2020. Agropecuario er kjent for sin defensive styrke og evne til å slå på kontringer.
