Farmers are put to the test every year, but that was ramped up this year by weather, low markets and an uncertain trade environment. CHS President and CEO Jay Debertin says practical steps are being taken to help its farmer-owners. One example is the effort to address the propane situation. “We’ve got trucks hauling propane from the middle of Kansas to North Dakota; we’ve hired a lot of outside contract carriers to get propane to North Dakota and northern Minnesota.” In November, CHS reported 2019 net income of $830 million. That’s up $54 million from 2018. Market conditions improved for refined fuels, but there was pressure for the grain and agronomy business.
