CHS is a farmer-owned cooperative operating globally in energy, agronomy, grain, and food. It connects producers to consumers by sourcing, processing, and distributing agricultural inputs and outputs. Its offerings include fertilizers and crop protection products for farmers, and the purchase, storage, and transport of grain and other commodities to food and feed companies around the world. In addition, CHS refines and markets petroleum products under the Cenex brand. Unlike many competitors, CHS is owned and governed by its member-owners—farmers, ranchers, and cooperatives—sharing in profits and guiding strategy. The company aims to support its members and customers by providing a full, vertically integrated supply chain from input to end product across global markets.

CHS backs digital platform for US barge logistics. US agribusiness cooperative CHS is introducing a digital barge-management platform across its supply chain following an investment in marine logistics technology company OpenTug. The investment was made through Cooperative Ventures, a joint venture between CHS and agricultural cooperative GROWMARK. OpenTug's BargeOS platform combines commercial planning, voyage management, cargo tracking, invoice reconciliation and reporting for inland and coastal marine freight. CHS plans to use the system to improve the movement of grain, fertiliser and other agricultural commodities through the US river and terminal network. The platform provides real-time barge positioning and automatically processes traffic reports and operational messages, giving logistics teams a consolidated view of voyages and cargo movements. OpenTug said the technology is designed to reduce idle barge days, improve estimated arrival times and lower demurrage costs. The companies did not disclose the size of the investment.
CHS-Ardent Mills partnership connects northern plains wheat to growing markets. by Editor Jul 15, 2026 Rail lines across northeastern North Dakota are moving millions of bushels of wheat each year as CHS and Ardent Mills work together to connect farmer-owned grain supplies with domestic flour markets and evolving consumer demand. In Drayton, North Dakota, shuttle trains carrying as many as 116 rail cars are loaded with about 420,000 bushels of grain per train. The CHS ag retail business units in Drayton and Devils Lake operate seven shuttle elevators that ship approximately 34 million bushels of hard red spring wheat annually. About half of those rail cars are filled with hard red spring wheat, much of it bound for Ardent Mills flour milling facilities across the United States. Hard red spring wheat is valued for its high protein content, which provides the elasticity needed for products such as bread and pizza dough. Ardent Mills, North America's largest wheat miller, is jointly owned by Conagra Brands, Cargill and CHS. The company operates nearly three dozen facilities processing traditional and organic grains from Washington to Massachusetts and from Saskatchewan to Puerto Rico. The ownership connection gives CHS access to a consistent source of demand for grain produced by its cooperative farmer-owners while providing greater visibility into customer needs for wheat quality, timing and volume. In turn, Ardent Mills benefits from the reach of the cooperative system and its connections with growers across major wheat-producing regions. While flour remains the company's primary business, Ardent Mills is also expanding its focus on specialty grains and ingredients through its Emerging Nutrition portfolio. The initiative targets growing demand for foods made with alternative grains and pulses, including chickpeas, lentils, sorghum and flax, while also supporting growers interested in organic production. Recent investments include the acquisition of Stone Mill, a specialty grain cleaning facility in Richardton, North Dakota, that connects chickpea and lentil growers in the Pacific Northwest with domestic and international markets, as well as an organic grain elevator in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The company also is investing in advanced milling capabilities for alternative grains and pulses to broaden the range of products available to food manufacturers. At the same time, Ardent Mills continues to expand its traditional flour operations. The company is increasing capacity at its Commerce City, Colorado, facility and recently opened a flour mill near Tampa, Florida, capable of producing 1.8 million pounds of flour each day. Company officials said consumer demand continues to support both traditional wheat products and nutrient-dense food ingredients, creating opportunities for growers who produce conventional wheat as well as specialty and organic crops.
CHS Inc., the largest farmer-owned cooperative in the US, reported net income of $267.4 million on revenues of $11.6 billion for its third quarter of fiscal year 2026, which ended May 31. This compares to net income of $232.2 million and revenues of $9.8 billion in the same period last year. The energy segment benefited from strong refining margins driven by global market dynamics, though these gains were largely offset by record-high renewable energy credit expenses. The grains division faced global headwinds affecting margins, partially offset by strong oilseed crush margins. CEO Jay Debertin highlighted the company's business diversity as a key strength amid shifting policy and market conditions, whilst acknowledging ongoing market volatility creates challenges for farmers and member cooperatives.

In-Plant capital projects lead U.S. Ethanol construction spending. More than $800 million of ethanol-related construction is underway in the U.S., with billions of dollars' worth of future projects in the planning and engineering pipeline. Released Monday, June 08, 2026 Reports related to this article: Summary. More than $800 million of ethanol-related construction is underway in the U.S., with billions of dollars' worth of future projects in the planning and engineering pipeline. Midwest concentration. U.S. ethanol projects probably are where one would expect them to be: Industrial Info Resources data show $806 million worth of current U.S. ethanol construction, with the most projects in Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska. In addition, Industrial Info Resources is tracking another $10 billion worth of U.S. ethanol projects in the planning and engineering stages, although not all of these will move forward as planned. Indiana renovation. One of the largest current ethanol projects is underway in Indiana, where Verbio is renovating a plant in South Bend to produce marketable byproducts such as liquid fertilizers while reducing energy consumption and boosting ethanol production to 85 million gallons per year. Up to 10 new buildings are being added to the site, as well as a renewable natural gas (RNG) unit that will process the dried distillers grains from ethanol production into 2.8 billion cubic feet per year of RNG. The RNG plant will include 16 anaerobic digester tanks. The ethanol plant renovation and accompanying RNG plant are expected to be completed in 2027. Expansion projects. Most of the ongoing ethanol projects being tracked by Industrial Info Resources involve improvements such as renovations and additions at existing facilities. Plant expansion projects account for more than a third of current spending and are underway in North Dakota, South Dakota and Illinois. In North Dakota, Hankinson Renewable Energy is expanding the capacity of its 150 million-gallon-per-year plant in Richland County, while in South Dakota, Dakota Ethanol LLC is investing $75 million to grow production at its ethanol plant in Wentworth from 100 million gallons per year to 150 million gallons annually. Industrial Info Resources data find more than $345 million worth of expansion projects are planned for future dates at U.S. ethanol plants, with one of the most notable set for Annawan, Illinois, where CHS Incorporated is expected to begin work within weeks to grow its 130 million-gallon-per-year plant into one that produces 160 million gallons per year. New Mexico. Smaller projects also abound. In Portales, New Mexico, Navitas Global LLC for around two years has been retrofitting an idled ethanol plant with new equipment to produce up to 10 million gallons per year as well as between 4 million and 8 million pounds per year of high-protein feed, depending on ethanol production. The project is expected to be completed later this year. U.S. Ethanol trends. Multiple U.S. ethanol construction projects are planned for the future, with a heavy showing of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects, which account for more than 50 planned projects valued at a combined $3.64 billion, although Industrial Info Resources has judged only 14 of these, valued at a combined $690 million, as having a medium or high probability (70%-99%) of moving forward as planned. Among these higher-probability projects, Iowa emerges as the clear leader, with a quarter of a billion dollars in planned CCS projects at ethanol plants. In addition to capital projects, Industrial Info Resources also is tracking details on more than 350 planned maintenance turnarounds and programs at ethanol plants throughout the U.S. Key Takeaways * Industrial Info Resources is tracking $806 million worth of ethanol-related construction underway in the U.S. * Multiple ethanol plants are considering installing CCS units at a future date. * Industrial Info Resources' ethanol project coverage also includes details on more than 350 future maintenance events at U.S. ethanol plants.
