Connecting Producers Globally Many of the barges waiting to be unloaded at the CHS export terminal at Myrtle Grove, La., carry corn and soybeans from Midwestern fields. Located on the Mississippi River about 50 miles south of New Orleans, Myrtle Grove plays a major role in the worldwide network of CHS terminals and marketing offices, which connect producers with customers in more than 60 countries. This southernmost Louisiana grain terminal loads oceangoing vessels bound primarily for South America, Latin America, Mexico and the Pacific Rim. The series of 27 locks and dams on the Upper Mississippi make it possible for barges to connect CHS terminals as far north as Savage, Minn., with this important export link. — Mark Johnson The CHS Myrtle Grove (La.) export terminal contains up to 6.5 million bushels and can load ships with 90,000-bushel capacity. •• SEE MORE •• Visit chsinc.com/c for more photos.
