CHS Announces Plans to Return $120 Million to Co-op Owners

USAgNet - 09/13/2025

CHS Inc. has announced it intends to return $120 million in cash patronage and equity redemptions to its owners in calendar year 2026. The planned distribution demonstrates the company's commitment to sharing profits with its owners and strengthening rural communities.

Based on business done with CHS in fiscal year 2025, which ended on Aug. 31, 2025, the CHS Board of Directors has elected to return $30 million in cash patronage and $90 million through equity redemptions to CHS owners.

CHS owners are member cooperatives and farmer-owners in communities across rural America. When the planned distributions are complete, CHS will have returned nearly $2.6 billion to owners over the past five years.

"As cooperative owners, we build strength by working together," said Dan Schurr, chair, CHS Board of Directors. "CHS is committed to sharing the financial strength we generate as the largest cooperative in the U.S. with our owners - the farmers, ranchers and cooperatives who make up rural America.

"We are focused on meeting the needs of our owners, customers and communities amid the volatile cycles inherent in agriculture, while investing in capabilities and efficiency that will drive future growth as we work to fulfill our purpose of creating connections to empower agriculture."

Final financial results for fiscal year 2025 are expected to be announced in November 2025. Patronage-related details will be available at that time, including the amount of fiscal year 2025 patronage equity certificates that will be issued to CHS members.
