CHS is investing in expanded storage and conveyance capacity at its Langdon, N.D., grain terminal to help meet the evolving needs of farmer-owners and customers while strengthening CHS supply chain capabilities in a key origination corridor.

The project will add an 850,000-bushel steel bin and supporting conveyance, including a third conveyor. The expansion will allow the facility to receive three commodities at the same time, which supports an increase in permanent storage, improvement to commodity segregation and is expected to reduce reliance on temporary storage. Construction is planned to begin in September 2026, with the expansion tentatively expected to be fully operational by August 2027.

“This project continues the CHS commitment to invest in the speed and space needed to serve our farmer-owners,” said Jason Edwards, senior director of operations, CHS. “By increasing storage and improving conveyance, we will be better positioned to receive multiple commodities, support customers during peak grain movement and strengthen the connection between local grain production and market access.”

The Langdon terminal receives several different commodities from local farmers, which requires multiple quality and grain segregation options. While the facility has strong shuttle-loading capabilities, storage constraints can limit grain intake and merchandising flexibility during key periods. The new storage and grain-moving equipment will help keep enough grain available to load trains efficiently. This will help CHS move more grain, reduce delays and serve customers more reliably.

“Our teams recognize the importance of continually improving our facilities for the changing needs of area farmers,” said Tom Lehar, vice president of operations, CHS. “This investment will provide greater flexibility for growers moving wheat, corn and soybeans, while helping CHS use our assets more effectively to connect their crops with market opportunities.”

For farmer-owners and customers, the added capacity is expected to support a better experience at the elevator, particularly during high-volume periods. The ability to receive multiple commodities at the same time can help CHS provide more consistent intake options and build on the relationships that make CHS a relevant, reliable partner.

Through investments like the Langdon expansion, CHS is creating connections that empower agriculture and support farmer-owners today while building capacity for the future.
