CHS Inc.
CHS Inc. is a Fortune 500 diversified, integrated, global agricultural cooperative owned by farmers, ranchers, cooperatives, and individual producers. Headquartered in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, CHS describes itself as the largest farmer-owned cooperative in the United States, with more than 750 member cooperatives, 75,000+ individual producer-owners, and 20,000+ preferred stockholders. The cooperative serves customers in 65 countries through three primary business divisions: Agriculture (crop nutrients, crop protection, precision agriculture, seed, animal nutrition, and oilseed products), Energy (refined fuels, propane, lubricants, pipelines, terminals, and renewable fuels under the Cenex brand), and Services (hedging, payment solutions, transportation, and capital services). Major brands include Cenex, Allegiant (seed), Payback (animal nutrition), and N-Edge (crop nutrients). CHS does not currently publish a public consumer-facing developer API; partner integrations are provided through digital platforms such as MyCHS (online portal for grain tickets, billing, and payments) and CHS Connect (digital self-service for crop protection and energy wholesale customers).
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles CHS Inc. the way a machine reads it — 18 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — CHS Inc. scores 6.2/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

This is an independent, third-party profile of CHS Inc., published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
