History

In 1931 Farmers Union Central Exchange was founded in Saint Paul, Minnesota. That core cooperative company later became Cenex, a combination from the last two words in its former name. [http://www.chsinc.com/go.asp?Page=008543910&Template=02&Parent=0&Title=CHS+History History of CHS Inc.] ]

In 1998, Cenex merged with Harvest States Cooperatives to form Cenex Harvest States.

In 2003, the merged cooperative company shortened its legal name to CHS Inc., with Cenex becoming the holding company's energy brand.
