CHS Inc., a farmer-owned cooperative, has agreed to purchase the Scoular grain facility in Holdrege, Neb. The sale is tentatively set to close before the end of August 2025. The acquisition of this facility is part of a larger strategy from CHS to invest in assets in key geographies to provide increased market access and efficiency to CHS owners.
"This acquisition in Holdrege reflects our ongoing strategy to optimize the CHS supply chain and invest in the long-term success of our farmer-owners," said Kent Mulder, vice president of operations for CHS.
Scoular's Holdrege location will serve primarily as a seasonal overflow facility for the existing CHS location in Holdrege. Together, the Holdrege facilities will increase grain origination and transportation capabilities for CHS.
"These changes are designed to create a stronger, more efficient network that benefits growers, said Mulder. "The enhanced speed and space of the Holdredge facility create global market opportunities for Nebraska farmers."
As part of this strategic alignment, CHS is selling its Roseland and Bladen, Neb., facilities to Cooperative Producers, Inc. (CPI), a farmer-owned cooperative headquartered in Hastings, Neb. CHS is working closely with CPI to ensure a smooth changeover of the Roseland and Bladen locations.
"We are confident these facilities will provide strategic value for CPI given the alignment with their trade territory. This realignment also creates additional opportunities to strengthen and maximize efficiencies for the cooperative system in Nebraska," said Mulder.
