10 2011 CHS
FUELING RELIABLE
ENERGY SUPPLY
Watching the endless parade of oil industry–related
trucks passing Steven Littlefi eld’s farmyard, there’s
no mistaking that it’s a new world in New Town, N.D.
But while the current exploration frenzy has fueled a
boom in western North Dakota, agriculture remains the
state’s economic backbone. As Littlefi eld and his brother
and father look to grow their grain and cattle operation,
they count on United Prairie Cooperative and the
United Propane and Fuel Partners joint venture
for essential diesel, propane and other inputs.
Providing dependable energy resources across
rural America has been a CHS priority throughout
eight decades of expanding refi ning capacity and
creating distribution systems that put customers fi rst.
CHS is investing $42 million in refi ned fuels terminal
e ciencies and storage projects to ensure the
Littlefi elds and thousands of other farmers and
ranchers can continue to count on reliable energy
fl ow from their cooperative system.
“We buy all our fuel and many other
things from our co-op. We get quality
products and exceptional service.
Patronage is the icing on the cake.”
