Central Valley Cooperative

The Central Advantage program offers a number of unique features and benefits to your operation. One key benefit is that it puts your data to work for you.

In recent years, the adaptation of grid-sampling and yield monitoring has grown exponentially. Although this wealth of data has potential to provide unsurpassed value to your operation, it can be hard to analyze and interpret. This is where the Central Advantage program can help.

The Central Advantage program takes your grid-sample and yield data and converts it into an easy to understand and usable form. Read more …

As we finalize our data processing with the Central Advantage program, it has come to our attention that the acres in the program have significantly out yielded the county averages in 2011.  Growers enrolled in Central Advantage have found value in the programs precise data management, which ultimately leads to better decisions.  The Central Advantage program is Precision Information for Maximum Return

Central Advantage takes precision agriculture to the next level.  It encompasses all the crucial layers of growing a high yielding crop, and shows the relationships in an easy to understand format.  The Central Advantage program is designed to help make better and more informative production decisions.  Growers in the program have the value of precise Variable Rate technology.  This VR technology centers on each growers individual data.  VRT recs are written around grid-sample data and field-by-field yield data, making each rec unique for every field.  This process ultimately leads to higher gains in yield.

The Central Advantage GS Annual Meeting & Grower Conference date has been set for March 13th, for those growers enrolled in the program.

Central Valley has just released a new web pay program for your convenience.  The web pay program allows you to pay your Central Valley bill online using your personal or business checking or savings account.

To access the web payment option: log onto our website at www.centralvalleycoop.com and click on the ”ONLINE PAYMENTS” button on the left side of the screen. The first time you use web pay you will have to setup a user name and password along with your Central Valley and bank account information before being able to initiate a payment.  Note: if you have more than one Central Valley account you will want to set each one up so you can apply payments to the correct account.  If you have a business checking or savings account there will be an extra step that is required before you can initiate a payment.  Instructions are on the site to help guide you through this process.

Another payment option we have available to save you time and money is our ACH program. This program is initiated through Central Valley to pay your monthly balance due.  The ACH feature has a onetime set up by the customer with Central Valley and no further monthly process needs to be done by the customer unless you change some of the initial setup information.  The rest of  the process is done by Central Valley each month.

If you have any questions on either the web payment or the ACH program please give Sue Meyer a call at (507) 446-5008 or email her at suem@centralvalleycoop.com.
