OBERLIN — CHS Inc., a leading farmer-owned cooperative, officially assumed operation of elevators formerly run by Hansen-Mueller in Oberlin and Cedar Bluffs in early May 2015.

The CHS operation will be able to bring added value to its customers through a collaborative agreement with two other CHS businesses: CHS Agri Service, based out of Holdrege, Neb., and CHS United Plains Ag, based out of Sharon Springs. These groups will share equipment and materials, as well as the expertise of their staffs, for enhanced grain services and the potential for new programs.

“We’re proud to be part of an organization whose main focus is on helping its farmer-owners grow and succeed,” said Brandon Kuykendall. “Our team looks forward to continuing to work with our area producers, bringing them the services and programs they need and expect.”

These two facilities originate corn, winter wheat and milo, with the majority of production being shipped by truck to area cattle feed lots, ethanol plants and milling companies. More information about the services and programs at these locations can be found at www.chsoberlin.com.
