CHS has closed its acquisition of West Central Ag Services. This deal is valued at $225 million and follows a shareholder vote in late November. The new ag retail business unit is being called CHS West Central. Former West Central Ag Services CEO Jesse McCollum is now the senior director of operations. CHS and West Central Ag Services had a 50-50 joint venture called Central Plains Ag Services based in Hannaford. That joint venture is now owned by CHS and is part of the CHS ag retail business unit in Devils Lake.
