Ohio Valley Ag

What Ohio Valley Ag does

Ohio Valley Ag (OVA) is a privately held regional agricultural equipment dealer founded in February 2007 in Owensboro, Kentucky. The company operates as a multi-brand dealer network serving individual farmers and agricultural operations across the Midwest and Southeast, with five physical retail locations spanning Kentucky (Owensboro and Russellville), Indiana (Greensburg), Illinois (Mt. Vernon), and Missouri (Moberly, opened July 2026). OVA is a certified dealer for Apache Sprayers — manufactured by its parent company, ET works, LLC — and stocks the full Apache self-propelled sprayer line (HS1100, AS650, AS850, AS1050, AS1250/XP), alongside complementary fertilizer equipment (Dalton Ag Products, Blu-Jet, Duo Lift, Newton Crouch, Yetter), precision agriculture electronics (AgLeader InCommand displays, Raven Precision, TeeJet, Dickey-john, Capstan AG), and an extensive parts catalog (Greenleaf nozzles, Dura pumps, GPI fuel equipment, KZ Electric Valves, Lucas Oil products, planter fertilizer kits). OVA also sells pre-owned equipment and offers service and repair departments at each location. The company provides a 24-hour online ordering system through its MyDealer portal with same-day and next-day shipping capabilities, and ships parts both domestically and internationally.

OVA generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) new and used equipment sales (one-time, quote-based pricing with promotional financing on used units), (2) parts and supplies (per-unit pricing with 24-hour availability), and (3) service and repair (professional services at each location). The go-to-market motion is hybrid: direct-to-consumer through five retail storefronts and an e-commerce portal, complemented by a dealer locator and select channel partnerships (notably Apache as the flagship brand). Marketing is conducted through the company website and blog, Facebook and X (Twitter), email newsletter, and annual participation in the National Farm Machinery Show. OVA's customer base is highly fragmented across individual farmers and farming operations, with no enterprise concentration disclosed. The company operates under the corporate umbrella of ET works, LLC — the manufacturer of Apache and Bruin Sprayers — which positions OVA as both a distribution affiliate and a sibling brand within the parent's commercial structure.

Broad incumbents

• Stotz Equipment: Stotz Equipment is a 25-store John Deere dealer group across the Western U.S. Similar dealership business model to OVA — new and used equipment, parts, service, and precision agriculture — but at significantly larger scale and with a full-line OEM rather than a specialty brand.
• RDO Equipment Co. RDO Equipment is one of the largest John Deere dealer networks in the U.S., operating across multiple states with full-line agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment. While much larger and broader than OVA, it is comparable in business model (multi-brand sales + parts + service + precision ag integration).
• Titan Machinery: Titan Machinery is a publicly-traded (TITN) multi-state dealer of CASE IH agriculture equipment, CASE construction, and other brands. Comparable dealer economics (parts, service, equipment) but much larger, publicly disclosed, and diversified across construction and European operations.

Direct peers

• H&R Agri-Power: H&R Agri-Power is a multi-state farm equipment dealer group headquartered in Kentucky with locations across KY, TN, IL, IN, AR, and MO. It directly overlaps OVA's geographic corridor and operates a similar mix of new/used equipment, parts, and service — the closest comparable independent specialty dealer in the region.
• Greenway Equipment: Greenway Equipment is a John Deere dealer group serving Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas. Comparable multi-location agricultural equipment dealer model with parts and service operations overlapping parts of OVA's Missouri and broader Midwest footprint.
• Hutson Inc: Hutson Inc is a multi-location farm equipment dealer with stores across Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Tennessee. It operates the same integrated sales/parts/service model as OVA and competes head-to-head in several of OVA's core counties.
• AgriVision Equipment: AgriVision Equipment is a multi-location agricultural equipment dealer in the Midwest (Iowa, Missouri). Comparable mid-size dealer model with full-line OEM representation, parts, and service operations overlapping OVA's Missouri footprint.
• Heritage Agriculture: Heritage Agriculture is a multi-state farm equipment dealer in the central U.S. with comparable new/used equipment, parts, and service operations. Similar scale and business model to OVA, competing for the same independent farmer customer base.

Regional players

• Rocky Mountain Equipment: Rocky Mountain Equipment (now part of Brandt) is a Canadian John Deere dealer network serving western Canada. Operates the same integrated equipment/parts/service model as OVA but in a different geography; useful comparable for unit economics and dealer-level margins in farm equipment retail.
• Cervus Equipment: Cervus Equipment (subsequently acquired by Brandt) was a Canadian John Deere dealer group. Comparable dealership economics and precision-agriculture positioning to OVA, though operating exclusively in Canada.
