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.[3]
In 1998, Cenex merged with Harvest States Cooperatives to form Cenex Harvest States.[3]
In 2003, the merged cooperative company shortened its legal name to CHS Inc., with Cenex becoming the holding company's energy brand.[3]
