St. Paul — CHS Inc. is including three major fertilizer-related projects in seven significant capital investments in northwest Minnesota and northeast North Dakota, totaling more than $50 million. CHS officials said the projects are intended to add value in grain and fertilizer distribution and handling for CHS producer-owners in that region, but provided no additional details. The fertilizer projects include construction of a fertilizer hub plant at Erskine, Minn., and expansions of fertilizer handling facilities at Crookston, Minn., and Larimore, N.D. CHS officials described these projects as significant enhancements to dry fertilizer handling at three locations. Also planned are a state-of-the-art shuttle train loading elevator, expansion of an existing shuttle loader, and two grain storage units. “By reinvesting in these facilities and communities, we continue to demonstrate the CHS commitment to our producer-owners,” said John McEnroe, executive vice president, CHS Country Operations. “These new projects, expansions, and upgrades provide the farmers we serve with added supply dependability and access to faster, more efficient grain handling.” Some of the updates will begin as early as this May. The company said these projects are very tangible demonstrations of CHS’s commitment to investing in the future on its owners’ behalf.
