Warren, Minn.-Agventure is what CHS Inc. will call its current agronomy locations operated by CHS-owned Northwest Grain, based in St. Hilaire, Minn.; Agri-Valley, based in Grand Forks, N.D.; Mid-Valley Grain, based in Crookston, Minn.; and Salol Elevators, based in Badger, Minn. CHS Agventure will also operate the new hub plant currently under construction in Warren, Minn. Construction on the 24,000 st agronomy facility began earlier this summer and is on schedule for completion by February 2008. The plant will be shuttle-train ready and strategically located on the Burlington Northern/Canadian Pacific rail line. Major highway/interstate access and a central position between the four partner locations will make CHS Agventure convenient to many in the region. “These four groups share a commitment to their patrons above anything else,” explained Carl Younce, regional director for CHS Country Operations division. “Coming together, they know they can offer greater economies of scale, secure supplies even during peak season and seamless service to all their customers. No matter where producers are located in the region, CHS Agventure can be the central ag resource for them.”
