CHS Inc.

CHS Inc. is a Fortune 500 diversified, integrated, global agricultural cooperative owned by farmers, ranchers, cooperatives, and individual producers. Headquartered in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, CHS describes itself as the largest farmer-owned cooperative in the United States, with more than 750 member cooperatives, 75,000+ individual producer-owners, and 20,000+ preferred stockholders. The cooperative serves customers in 65 countries through three primary business divisions: Agriculture (crop nutrients, crop protection, precision agriculture, seed, animal nutrition, and oilseed products), Energy (refined fuels, propane, lubricants, pipelines, terminals, and renewable fuels under the Cenex brand), and Services (hedging, payment solutions, transportation, and capital services). Major brands include Cenex, Allegiant (seed), Payback (animal nutrition), and N-Edge (crop nutrients). CHS does not currently publish a public consumer-facing developer API; partner integrations are provided through digital platforms such as MyCHS (online portal for grain tickets, billing, and payments) and CHS Connect (digital self-service for crop protection and energy wholesale customers).

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/chs: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
