Owner

Kurt Romans started the company in 2008. Kurt grew up in Vale ranching and farming with his family. He obtained his Electrical Engineering Degree and moved back to Vale to raise a family of his own while embarking on his idea of opening Vale’s first “one stop farm shop”. RPI has grown steadily, opening stores in La Grande and Hermiston. Over the years, faces and buildings have slightly changed, but Kurt remains focused on serving his local community helping find irrigation solutions for all types of Ag Businesses.

 Vale is staffed and equipped to serve our customers at every step of their irrigation needs. Beginning with design, to installation, to troubleshooting, and repairs, parts, and account management.

Our Field crew members are skilled and experienced to complete the installation on schedule and to spec. The parts manager is available to help solve irrigation needs over the phone or in person, and has many resources available to find the right fit for your job. Our office staff is happy to answer questions, provide account information, and assist you in managing payments.  

Whatever you need, we are here to help you find the best irrigation solution and will be available to assist you through the years. Our goal is to keep you running and productive.
