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).
