Speed and space are important as agribusiness makes business decisions for the future. Scott Cordes is a member of the CHS Corporate Board and was part of the CHS Ag Services annual meeting. As the size of farms gets bigger and the speed of operations speeds up, Cordes said CHS must position for its future. “Some of the investments we make have an 80-year tail on them so trying to make a decision today for an 80-year project, you have to use your crystal ball,” said Cordes. “We look for the trends. What are the drivers that are changing the trends? Are we doing more renewable diesel, is that the trend we’re after? The crystal ball gets used quite a bit to try to put some hard metrics to it.”
