CHS Plans Evansville, Wisconsin, Soybean Processing Operations

09/21/2026
Agribusiness company CHS plans to establish operations near Evansville, Wisconsin. The $700 million project is expected to create approximately 80 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new soybean processing facility with the capacity to process 80 million bushels of U.S.-grown soybeans annually. 

“Investments like this help CHS create additional value for our owners and customers by expanding market access, strengthening our processing network and creating new demand opportunities for U.S.-grown soybeans,” said CHS Executive Vice President of Agriculture Business and CHS Hedging John Griffith. “Strong demand across food, feed and renewable fuel markets, coupled with policies that encourage domestic processing, manufacturing and energy production, reinforce the need for additional soybean processing capacity in the United States. This facility positions CHS to support farmers and customers for years to come.”

CHS is an agribusiness and farmer-owned cooperative that operates across the agriculture and energy sectors.

“For Wisconsin soybean farmers, this investment represents something we have been working toward for years: stronger demand for the crop we grow right here at home,” added Wisconsin Soybean Association President Doug Rebout. “Additional processing capacity gives growers another reliable market close to the farm and helps create long-term opportunities for Wisconsin soybeans in both meal and oil markets.”
