Board of Directors
Nick Novak Elected to Three-Year Term
As a member-owned cooperative, we’re focused
on meeting the needs of area producers and
serving our local communities while operating a financially sound business. River Valley Cooperative
is guided by dedicated board members who have
been elected to serve.
River Valley Cooperative welcomes Nick Novak as
the most recent addition to its nine-person board.
Nick was elected to fill an open seat on the board
after longtime board member Dean Adrian chose
not to seek another term.
Nick and his wife, Erin, have two children, Kolton
and Kaylin. He began farming with his grandfather
when he was in his teens and has been a member
of the cooperative since 1996. His farming operation includes corn and soybeans, 20 stock cows,
and feeding out 30-50 cattle each year.
Volunteering as a fire fighter, Nick has proudly
served on the Lost Nation Fire Company for the
past 15 years, the last six as 2nd Assistant Chief. He
is also a member of the Iowa Soybean Association and the Sons of
the American Legion in Lost Nation.
Nick looks forward to seeing how the cooperative system works,
helping it grow in any way he can, learning what the cooperative’s
future plans are, and its impact on the local community.
Current board members serving
River Valley Cooperative are:
Brian Corkill, Brent Daufeldt, Randy Haars,
Neal Keppy, Doug Nelson, Ken Nelson,
Nick Novak, Joe Sperfslage,
