The Table is Set

This life we love has never been easy. We've been blessed with million-dollar rains - and we've watched hope dry up in the heat. Through every season, we press on, because our purpose is greater. 

At Central Valley Ag, we prepare the table alongside our farmers - not just to grow food, but to nourish families, strengthen communities, and sustain the land we share. 

At this table, everyone is welcome. 

Over the next several months, we'll share the real stories of agriculture today - four unique journeys that prove there's room for every background, every path, and every dream. 

You'll meet Zemua, a first-generation farmer whose roots trace back to southern Africa, building a future from nothing but grit and vision. 

You'll ride along with Whitney, a Nebraska farmer and mom proving that leadership in agriculture is earned by determination, not birthright. 

You'll walk the Kansas fields with the Porters, four generations strong, where family values grow deeper than the roots in their soil. 

And you'll see the Heiss family's century-long legacy in motion, as the next generation steps into the furrows left by those before them.

These stories - and yours - are what make our table strong. Every voice matters. Every sacrifice, every win, every hard-earned lesson. 

As the official cooperative of Kansas State and Nebraska Athletics, and proud sponsors of Iowa State, CVA celebrates the partnerships that help us grow stronger together. Whether around the table or in the field, this is the power of the cooperative. 

The table is set. 

We're saving you a seat.

Our planet is hungry. Together, we feed it.
