CHS wrapped up the second quarter with a new loss of $147 million. That compares to a loss of nearly $76 million in the same quarter last year. Sales volumes were down for crop nutrients and crop protection products. That was partially offset by the continued strong performance of the cooperative’s CF Nitrogen joint venture. The CHS energy segment faced significantly higher expenses for renewable energy credits. Corn export volumes were up, but weak soybean and canola crush margins were a factor.
