CHS Inc. has announced plans to return $600 million in cash patronage and equity redemptions to its owners in 2025. This distribution reflects the cooperative’s ongoing commitment to sharing profits with its members and supporting rural communities.
The CHS Board of Directors has approved the return based on business conducted in fiscal year 2024, which ended on August 31. The payout will include $300 million in cash patronage and $300 million in equity redemptions, marking the third-largest cash return in the cooperative’s history.
CHS owners, including member cooperatives and farmer-owners across rural America, will benefit from this distribution. When the 2025 returns are finalized, CHS will have distributed over $2.3 billion to its members in the last three years and nearly $3.5 billion over the past decade.
Dan Schurr, chair of the CHS Board of Directors, emphasized the cooperative’s commitment to empowering its members, stating, “CHS is dedicated to sharing our financial strength with the farmers, ranchers, and cooperatives who sustain rural America.”
Final financial results for fiscal year 2024, along with additional details on patronage equity, are expected to be announced in November.
