With the 2024 CHS Annual Meeting as the backdrop, we put our focus this month on seeing cooperative value in action.

We have several interviews in this episode that bring you a unique view of why agricultural cooperatives are crucial to America, including Tony Rossman (CHS Board of Directors), Keri Jacobs (Graduate Institute of Cooperative Leadership), Dustin Haaland (refined fuels trading, CHS), Casey Venters (Lane County [Kan.] Community Foundation) and Megan Wolle (CHS Foundation).

Join us again next month when we bring you a closer look at how the cooperative system is connected to customers around the world.

It Takes a Co-op introduces you to people working in agriculture and energy, inside and outside of CHS, whose ideas and insights will help you, and your cooperative, succeed.

Follow the show wherever you listen to podcasts. Video versions of our episodes are available on the CHS YouTube channel.
