Stephen VadenGUEST
Um, but now we've got a facility that we broke ground in Louisiana that will be the world's largest ammonia manufacturing facility by nameplate capacity when it comes online, 1.4 million metric tons of ammonia.
Stephen VadenGUEST
We've got less than an hour's drive away from that facility, also in Louisiana, a joint venture between the farmer-owned cooperative CHS and the Moroccan, uh, phosphate company OCP, 1.3 million metric tons of new phosphate fertilizer for American farmers.
Stephen VadenGUEST
That's equivalent, depending on the year, 25 to 33% of our entire usage.
Logan HanksHOST
Wow.

Stephen VadenGUEST
And it's pretty consistent what we've heard about, and competition issues have been at the forefront of that.
Stephen VadenGUEST
And then number two, what's possible if you actually care? Because that's ...
Stephen VadenGUEST
When you talk to these corporate executives, well-meaning corporate executives who wanna help, and I've done that in terms of talking to CHS and, and some of the other companies.
Stephen VadenGUEST
The one thing that they have emphasized to me when they have conversations is, it's really obvious that you wanna get something done and you're interested in more than just a press release.
Brian GilbertGUEST
So I, I tried to stay on the farm, and Dad told me no about three times, and I finally got the hint that maybe I should, I should just go to college and, and try something else.
Brian GilbertGUEST
But anyway, went to South Dakota State University and was there for four years, and then I, I moved on to CHS Inc. in their finance department, and worked there for about four and a half years before I started as an ag lender at First National Bank in Sioux Falls, which was in September 11 of 2006.
Brian GilbertGUEST
I've been here ever since.
Brian GilbertGUEST
I served as an ag lender for a while, and then kind of an assistant manager, and now, uh, worked my way to, uh, the President of, of Ag Banking.
Vernon OakesHOST
Mike grew up in his family farm, uh, and he has, uh, which has depended upon agriculture cooperat- cooperative for generations.
Vernon OakesHOST
After college, he worked briefly for Harvest States Cooperatives before returning to the farm.
Vernon OakesHOST
At only 30 years old, Mike became one of the youngest people ever elected to the board of Cenex.
Vernon OakesHOST
He later played an important role in the 1998 combination of Cenex and Harvest States Cooperatives that created CHS.
Vernon OakesHOST
Mike subsequently chaired both CH- CHS board and the CHS Foundation, where he ca- became a strong advocate for education, director of development, innovation, and preparing the next generation of agriculture leaders.
Vernon OakesHOST
His cooperative leadership didn't stop with CHS.
Vernon OakesHOST
Uh, so it was all a major shock and surprise, and extremely pleased.
Vernon OakesHOST
So s- something about your story caught my attention.
Devin MoglerGUEST
...
Devin MoglerGUEST
the CHS groundbreaking up in Evansville, Wisconsin yesterday for that big new crush plant, and USDA Deputy Secretary Steven Vaden was there and, and said on stage, you know, they plan to continue to grow this program because they see the kind of investments that it's driving across rural America and what it's doing for farm gate prices.
Chip FloryHOST
Yeah.
Chip FloryHOST
I want to talk more about that CHS plant here in a little bit.
Chip FloryHOST
But, uh, it, the, the big concern was that if the RVOs, the renewable volume obligations, were set, quote-unquote, "too high", that the biomass-based diesel wouldn't be able to keep pace with, wi- with the demand.
Chip FloryHOST
Um, how are we doing? Are, are we satisfying the, the needs?
Devin MoglerGUEST
We'd be exporting over 60% of our whole soybeans and only crushing under 40% here.
Devin MoglerGUEST
So it, it's a remarkable success story, and the, the investments keep coming.
Donnell RehagenGUEST
It sure has in our industry, for sure.
Donnell RehagenGUEST
And I think we've even seen it in the feedstock industry, you know, with this recent announcement of soybean crush expansion from CHS, going to bring more soybean oil, more meal into the domestic industry.
Donnell RehagenGUEST
And, Chip, that's exactly what the RFS, you know, was intended to do, to create opportunities for investment in rural economies, in agriculture, and producing more fuel here in the United States of America.
Donnell RehagenGUEST
And so we're happy to be doing that.
5 MINS LATER
Donnell RehagenGUEST
And so, you know, keep in mind currently soybean crush production, my understanding, produces about 31, 32 billion pounds.
Donnell RehagenGUEST
So, The biofuels industry has now surpassed the food industry as the number one consumer of soybean oil here in the United States.
Donnell RehagenGUEST
And we were talking earlier about CHS's expansion to add more crush, which means more oil.
Donnell RehagenGUEST
So these signals are so important to the grower, the soybean growers and the soybean crushers out there that are being fed from this RFS and from this administration that's very clearly supporting more and more production.
Pat SteeleNARRATOR
For deliveries on Saturday, however, Cargill's bid drops to $0.15 below November futures, a swing that underscores the demand for immediate soybean supplies.
Pat SteeleNARRATOR
Similar short-term premiums were also offered at the soy processing sites in Iowa and Minnesota, operated by agribusiness Archer Daniels Milland Cooperative, CHS Inc., and Iowa-based Shell Rock Soy Processing.
Pat SteeleNARRATOR
Next subsection is scaling back crush.
Pat SteeleNARRATOR
Some plants have already scaled back their operations, crushing whole soybeans into soy meal used in livestock feed and soy oil used for foods and biofuels, because they have been unable to secure sufficient soybean supplies, according to two grain merchandisers interviewed by Reuters.
