What’s important to the farmer when it comes to crop production? Getting things done. That’s why River Valley Cooperative’s agronomy experts spend most of their time in the country throughout eastern Iowa and western Illinois, working one-on-one with growers.
Whether you need gasoline to keep you rolling, propane to keep you warm or dry your crops, lubricants and oils to keep your machinery running efficiently, or diesel to run your farm equipment, River Valley Cooperative has you covered.
While River Valley Cooperative supplies high-quality livestock feed to producers in eastern Iowa and western Illinois, we're also focused on providing safe, healthy food from farm to the table.
If you’re going to take full advantage of high grain prices, it helps to have a partner who can help you navigate today’s volatile grain markets.
These are the forward-thinking owner-customers of River Valley Cooperative. While they share a love for the land, not all are traditional producers.

Some may be getting nervous with the setback in prices, but we remind ourselves we are now in June, the month that since 1980 has had the most calendar year highs while it has only happened in May twice. We attribute part of the weakness the past week on the gyrations of the US tariff wars. Additionally the corn crop is now 92% planted so the market will turn its focus from prevent plant to crop conditions and weather forecast. READ MORE
