NOTE FROM THE CEO / Service is the cornerstone principle of our business. We at Terral RiverService believe in going the extra mile to ensure the satisfaction of our customers. Our attention to detail distinguishes us from our competitors and has helped develop long-term business relationships.

HISTORY / The company’s roots stretch back to 1946, when John Terral founded a small farm supply business in Lake Providence, Louisiana. That company evolved into a network of several larger businesses that included a seed company, a farm supply company and a grain trading company. Terral RiverService was formed in 1992 and has grown steadily, adding and upgrading facilities throughout the Lower Mississippi region.

AGGREGATES / Through our five conveniently located sites, we are able to provide customers with quality limestone rock of all grades and sizes, including ag lime.

Both facilities allow us to originate cottonseed from Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana.
