In this current agricultural environment, Chris recommends, “Save your cash and line of credit at the
bank by using Advance For Inputs Powered by CFA. River Valley Cooperative is excited to bring AFI
to your farm and is proud to have partnered with CFA to bring you this industry-leading program. We
look forward to working with you in the future.”
River Valley Cooperative and CFA have strived to make
the borrowing process as easy as possible. For the majority of farmers, the only signature needed is the one on
the financing application.
River Valley Cooperative, in addition to Advance for
Inputs Powered by CFA, will continue to work with John
Deere Financial and major chemical companies to bring
you attractive rates on your chemical, fertilizer, and seed
for the 2021 growing season. River Valley Cooperative
will continue to build on the relationships that have
been developed with companies including Bayer, BASF,
Valent, FMC, Syngenta, WinField United, and Corteva to
best serve member-owners’ needs.
Chris Green was hired by River Valley Cooperative in
May 2020 to serve as Ag Finance Director, to assist the
cooperative’s members in utilizing all of the finance
programs available. Chris will assist farmers and account
managers in finding programs that minimize or eliminate
interest rates and fit the needs of customer’s operations.
