About

Our hay is locally grown in Iowa’s fertile soils. We employ careful quality control measures throughout the growing and baling processes, which helps us give our clients a premium product every time. Our hay provides your beef cattle, dairy cattle, and other livestock with the necessary nutrients.

Our hay is a blend of alfalfa and ryegrass. Alfalfa hay and ryegrass have exceptional nutritional profiles. Their high protein content aids in cattle’s milk production and muscle development.

Riverview Farms believes in farming wisely. We steward our land, install drainage tile and terracing systems to control erosion, and manage our crops with precision and care. Our hay is locally grown by Iowan farmers through Iowan hard work and values. 

We sell hay by the ton using a certified truck scale instead of a by-the-bale approach. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting, and never worry about being charged per bale and wondering if all bales are really the same size. We use a reliable accounting system to make sure you’re billed accurately and in a timely manner.

Our balers are New Holland net wrap balers equipped with a preservative applicator. Anything over 14% gets preservative. Most of our hay is baled dry, and baleage is available if requested in advance of cutting, then wrapped tightly in thick layers of bale wrap to seal oxygen out. This keeps our bales fresh, and ensures the hay is consumed efficiently.

We test our hay and use Dairyland Labs in Wisconsin to get accurate information about what we’re growing. Potential problems regarding weeds, fertility, or soil conditions are addressed quickly and completely.

We work hard to produce bales that looks good, feed well, and reflect our high standard of quality when you cut it open.

Let us help you provide high quality for your livestock. We strive to be a long-term resource that you can depend on year after year, and not someone’s cheap waterway grasses that look good only in pictures.
