All 48 continental states, plus Fiji and Saint Martin. 🌎 Our Agronomy & Energy Admin in Annawan, Hailey, has seen a lot of places, and we’re glad one of them is River Valley!

Hailey supports our customers and teams across Annawan and Geneseo, and her favorite part of the job is the people she gets to work with every day.

When she’s not at work, she’s running 5Ks, reading a good thriller or historical fiction, or spending time outdoors.

Fun Fact Friday 🌱

This week’s fun fact comes from Tyler Mitchell, Agronomy Account Manager out of Sunbury, IA.

Did you know anhydrous ammonia actually starts out as nitrogen gas in the air we breathe? 💨 It’s combined with natural gas under heat and pressure to create anhydrous ammonia, one of the most widely used nitrogen sources for crops. 🌽

Every great project starts with a solid foundation, and that’s exactly what’s going into our new Liquid Chem Shed at Low Moor. 🌱

Regional Operations Manager, Brian Wambeke snapped these photos last week during a concrete pour in the outbound load area.

Underneath it all? A serious amount of rebar where the inside bulk CPP tanks will stand, plus trench work for the plumbing that’ll keep our loadout bays running smoothly.

It all adds up to faster, more efficient service for you when it matters most. We can’t wait to open the doors! 🚜

“My favorite part about RVC is coming into work, and it does not feel like work.” That’s how Riley sums up her 3 years at River Valley! 🚜

She loves the people she works with and the customers and members she talks to every day.

Off the clock, she’s chasing her little girl, gardening, cooking, riding in the tractor with her husband, or hunting for treasures at antique shops.

Thank you for the energy you bring every day, Riley!

⭐ Star of the Month: Our Dynamic Duo! ⭐

If you ever get the chance to stop by Toulon during harvest, it’s worth the trip. You’ll find a busy grain hub and a dynamic duo keeping everything moving!

We’re proud to recognize Carter Zarvell, Lead Grain Operator, and Leah Leezer, Scale Operator, as our October Stars of the Month! 🌾

Carter and Leah work side by side to keep trucks rolling and the location running smoothly, even on the busiest harvest days. Between hand signals, CBs, handheld radios, and cell phones, the two of them are in constant communication. They make sure trucks keep flowing, drivers know where to go, and grain gets directed to the right pits.

And there’s a lot of grain to handle! 🚛 Toulon can take in well over 250,000 bushels in a single day while continuing to ship grain out, making sure we have space where it’s needed most.

A day like that takes great communication, teamwork, and plenty of hustle. Carter and Leah are a shining example of how working together keeps a busy location running when the pressure is on.

Great job, Carter and Leah, and thank you for everything you do to keep Toulon moving during harvest! 👏

Even when the last fields are coming in, that little tank still matters. 🚜

Whether you’re finishing harvest, moving into fall tillage or hauling grain, keep your DEF topped off so your equipment runs at full power to the very last load.

With colder nights ahead, now’s a good time to stock up, too. River Valley Cooperative delivers certified DEF in bulk to your farm, fleet yard or job site.
