Camp Grove, Illinois, Agronomy Facility is Operational
River Valley Cooperative is expanding its physical footprint and adding
staff with agronomic knowledge to
assist with purchase decisions and
planning.
In late 2019, River Valley Cooperative expanded into the Peoria,
Illinois, area, after a new state-of-theart agronomy facility in Camp Grove
was completed. The addition of this
location opens the doors to a
new geography and efficiency to
serve customers in the Peoria,
Marshall, and Stark County
areas.
Aiming to grow sales in crop
inputs, River Valley Cooperative
completed the construction
on the new facility after breaking ground in November 2018

June of 2019, the office was finished this past September, and the
ammonia system was completed at
the end of October and is now fully
operational.
A 24/7 fertilizer loadout facility was
constructed and has streamlined
operations for customers and employees. Most often used by customers to pick up preplant starters
and UAN, the 24/7 fertilizer loadout
facility has increased the efficiency of
customers and employees alike.
The staff at the Camp Grove location
are local to farmers, and can talk them
through decisions on seed, chemicals,
fertilizer and disease issues.
We are proud to have Justin Stabler,
previously an Agronomy Account Manager at Galva, as the Location Manager
of the new Camp Grove facility.

he provides area growers with quality seed
varieties and service.
