History
Valley View Agri-Systems was founded over thirty years ago in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Since our founding, we have increased our market share by establishing relationships with farmers and commercial elevators, along with a series of acquisitions.
In 1990, the company purchased the Jonesboro branch of Simmons-Belk, a company established in Cleveland, Mississippi in 1958, and known throughout the South as a leader in the industry. Simmons-Belk’s Cleveland location became K&D Agri through a series of transitions, and then joined the Valley View Agri family in 2000.
In 2008 and 2009, Valley View Agri-Systems continued to grow through the acquisitions of Fowler Bin Company in Hoxie, Arkansas and Wilson Construction in Wynne, Arkansas. In 2012, the company sold to Jim Cochran from Memphis, TN. Jim and his family relocated to Jonesboro a short time later in order to live closer to the business. This ownership transition ensures the company’s ability to serve our customers and grow into the future.
In 2020, Valley View added a Midwest Division in Central Illinois that services territory from Iowa, Missouri, Indiana and beyond.
