 PROFILE

About half of the co-op's sales come from grain trading and from selling supplies to members through more than 330 stores. CHS also processes soybeans for use in salad dressings, margarines, and animal feeds, and grinds wheat into flour used in pastas and bread; subsidiary Sparta Foods makes tortillas. The co-op has formed joint ventures with Farmland Industries and Land O'Lakes, among others, to refine and market petroleum products and propane and sell crop nutrient and protection products.
