History

CHS's history began in 1931 with the founding of the Farmers Union Central Exchange in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Later, the core cooperative company became Cenex, from the combination of the last two words in its previous name.

In 1998, Cenex merged with Harvest States Cooperatives. Harvest States was the product of a 1983 merger between North Pacific Grain Growers (formed 1929) and the Farmers Union Grain Terminal Association (formed 1938). The merged cooperative took the name Cenex Harvest States, adopting "CHS" as its brand name. In 2003, it changed its legal name to CHS Inc.[3]

Co-branding with Eagle Stop

Eagle Stop is a chain of convenience stores headquartered in Missouri. As of 2022, the chain has 49 locations, all in Missouri.[4] All Eagle Stop locations are co-branded with Cenex gas stations.[5]
