$700M Soybean Processing Facility Announced for Evansville
The plant will process 80 million bushels a year and is expected to create about 80 jobs, CHS said.
- Minnesota-Based cooperative CHS will begin construction this month in Evansville, Wisconsin on a $700 million soybean processing facility scheduled to open in fall 2028.
- Strong demand across food, feed, and renewable fuel markets prompted the investment, said CHS executive vice president of agriculture business John Griffith, aligning with policies encouraging domestic processing.
- The facility will process 80 million bushels of soybeans annually, producing 1 billion pounds of oil and 2 million tons of meal, with an in-plant Union Pacific rail loop accommodating up to 1,000 trucks daily.
- Wisconsin Soybean Association President Doug Rebout stated the investment delivers a needed market for growers, while Governor Tony Evers emphasized its role supporting state agriculture with about 80 jobs.
- This development follows a recent plan to partner with a Moroccan state-owned mining company on a fertilizer facility in Louisiana, part of CHS's broader effort to reduce reliance on imports.
