Elburn Cooperative to merge with CHS

Members of Elburn Cooperative, a farmers cooperative in Sycamore, Ill., voted to merge with CHS Inc.

According to a press release, the merger will become effective in March 2016 after the CHS board of directors approves it. Elburn Cooperative will retain its staff members through the merger.

“Merging with CHS offers us a more competitive size and scale than we’ve had in the past on our own,” says Tracy Jones, board chairman of Elburn Cooperative. “This merger positions us to return the greatest value to our patrons and for future generations.”
