Ag Valley Co-op is pleased to announce the addition of four new grain professionals who joined the cooperative in 2025: Matthew Burkey, Greg Brown, Clint Dille, and Aaron Richards. Together, this group includes both experienced merchandisers and grain originators, further strengthening Ag Valley’s commitment to providing member-owners with a smart, strategic, and forward-thinking grain program.
These new grain team members bring diverse skill sets and strong market knowledge, allowing Ag Valley to continue enhancing its ability to serve producers with timely insights, personalized marketing support, and reliable grain origination services across the cooperative’s territory.
Merchandisers and Originators at Ag Valley help manage grain positions, evaluate market trends, and work closely with producers to build marketing strategies tailored to their operations, and focus on developing strong relationships with growers, identifying opportunities, and ensuring grain flows efficiently into the cooperative’s system. Together, these roles play a crucial part in helping member-owners navigate market volatility and capture value.
The expanded grain team is working with producers on marketing plans, basis opportunities, and contracting strategies for upcoming seasons. Growers can expect outreach, educational conversations, and a continued focus on helping them make informed marketing decisions.
Ag Valley Co-op is dedicated to Building Tomorrow Together by investing in people and strengthening services that directly support grower success. The addition of these new merchandisers and originators underscores the cooperative’s long-term commitment to delivering value across every acre and every load.
