River Country Cooperative, a diversified ag retailer based in South St. Paul, MN, and CHS Inc., the nation’s leading farmer-owned cooperative, have completed their study of a formal business merger between the two and will move the process forward, pending further due diligence. The proposed business agreement will be voted upon by River Country Cooperative’s membership this summer.

“The business is solid today, but our customers’ needs are changing and we want to grow our size and scale to meet those needs,” said Myron Tank, chairman of the board, River Country Cooperative. “We looked at a number of different ways to do that and determined CHS would be the best partner to align with for the future.”
