An Investment in the Region

Over the past year, CHS acquired West Central Ag Services. The nation’s largest farm cooperative is now investing in the region with a major grain facility at Warren, Minnesota and upgrading a grain terminal at Kindred, North Dakota. CHS Executive Vice President Rick Dusek said these investments speak to the importance of this region. “This area for CHS is huge,” Dusek told RRFN. “Up and down the Red River Valley, on both sides of the river, is really important for us on grain, on agronomy and on energy. I think we’re showing it by the way we’re investing in this area.” Dusek said CHS is positioning itself to serve the farmer of the future. “They’re getting bigger and more sophisticated, their needs are different from what they were five or ten years ago.”
