CHS Reports 3Q Earnings

For the first nine months of the year, CHS reports net income of nearly $651 million. That compares to $535.5 million a year ago. Income was down in the third quarter, influenced by the completion of CHS’s acquisition of the remaining 75 percent ownership interest in West Central Distribution. Quarterly earnings from the agriculture division were down, impacted by the poor weather, historic flooding on the river and the current trade disputes.
