Stewardship

We are committed to making a meaningful impact on rural America and the agricultural industry. Our initiatives leverage the cooperative system to develop future ag leaders and enhance local communities.

CHS employees volunteer through our annual Days of Service and support ag safety and leadership via the Seeds for Stewardship program, which offers matching grants for community projects.

We focus on building the next generation of leaders and strengthening the ag talent pipeline. The CHS Foundation provides scholarships and supports projects at colleges that enhance agricultural education, awarding over 225 scholarships annually across 25 institutions.

Safety resources

We can’t say enough about our commitment to safety for our employees, our customers and our neighbors. At CHS, health and safety are top priorities in our operations 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Measures such as regular safety meetings, employee health programs, comprehensive disaster plans, and ongoing training help employees do their jobs safely. We want every employee to return home safely after work each day – and we want that for our patrons and community, too. That is the foundation of our ZERO Incidents safety goal at CHS.

Our CHS safety program satisfies regulatory requirements and ensures compliance. It is the policy of CHS to comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.

Producer board

The CHS producer board plays a vital role in guiding our cooperative business. All active producers can nominate, vote, and be elected to the board, and we encourage everyone to engage actively in their cooperative.
