Building Soil Health, Growing Relationships

River Valley Ag Exchange was founded in 2017 by Derek and Lyndsey Davis to help farmers increase profitability through proven methods. As fifth-generation farmers operating Legacy Ridge Farms, they understand firsthand the challenges and opportunities of farming. After experiencing remarkable soil health improvements, they recognized farmers needed quality products, expert guidance, and a true partner invested in their success. Today, RVAE serves growers throughout the Midwest with biologicals, conventional inputs, seed, grain marketing, and grower premium contracts.


We don’t just sell products; we partner with you to develop programs that fit your operation and goals.

Our History & Vision

River Valley Ag Exchange grew from a Missouri row crop farm to a regional leader by asking: What if farmers could build fertility faster, reduce costs, and still never yield data unsurpassed?

By combining the best products with proven systems like Trilogy and backing it all with expert consultation and farmer-to-farmer support, we’ve helped hundreds of operations transform their soil health.

Our vision extends beyond sales. We’re building a community of farmers proving that regenerative farming is economically superior through on-farm trials, education, and transparent data sharing.
