CHS Inc., the nation's leading agribusiness cooperative, announced plans to return $120 million in cash patronage and equity redemptions to its owners during calendar year 2026.
The distribution includes $30 million in cash patronage and $90 million through equity redemptions based on business conducted with CHS during fiscal year 2025, which ended Aug. 31.
"As cooperative owners, we build strength by working together," said Dan Schurr, chair of the 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."
The planned distribution will bring total returns to nearly $2.6 billion over the past five years, underscoring the cooperative's commitment to sharing profits with member cooperatives and farmer-owners across rural America.
Schurr emphasized the company's focus on meeting owner and customer needs despite agriculture's inherent volatility, while continuing to invest in capabilities that drive future growth.
Final financial results for fiscal year 2025 are expected in November, when additional patronage-related details will be announced, including information about fiscal year 2025 patronage equity certificates for CHS members.
