CHS Inc., whose Class B Common Stock trades on the Nasdaq under the symbol CHSCL, is a diversified global agribusiness cooperative headquartered in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota. As one of the largest cooperatives of its kind, CHS is owned by farmers, ranchers and cooperatives across the United States, and it serves as a critical link in the agricultural supply chain from field to fork.
The company’s core operations are organized into key segments. In Energy, CHS markets refined fuels, lubricants, propane and renewable products under the Cenex® brand and through strategic partnerships, supporting retail stations, commercial fleets and heating markets. Within its Ag segment, CHS offers grain marketing, risk management and agronomy services, alongside oilseed crushing and processing capabilities that produce meal, oil and other ingredients for food and animal feeds. Additionally, CHS operates a Food Ingredients and International division, supplying bakery, confectionery and meat products, as well as specialty ingredients, to foodservice distributors and industrial customers around the world.
Formed in 1998 through the merger of Cenex® and Harvest States Cooperatives, CHS traces its heritage back to rural cooperative movements dating to the 1930s. Over time, it has expanded its footprint beyond North America, with export elevators, processing facilities and joint ventures in South America, Asia and other markets. This global reach enables the company to source and distribute agricultural commodities and energy products on behalf of its patrons and commercial partners.
Under the leadership of President and CEO Jay Debertin, CHS has emphasized sustainable agriculture, digital innovation and supply chain resilience. A board of directors drawn from member cooperatives helps guide strategic decisions, ensuring that the cooperative remains aligned with the needs of its farmer-owners while pursuing growth opportunities in energy, grains and food ingredients.
