Rail connects the Mountain View Co-op 110-car shuttle train loading facility at Collins, Mont., to Pacific Northwest ports. CHS seamlessly connects its grain-shipping customers and internal clients to expanding markets in the United States and abroad. This time of year, the Mountain View Co-op grain elevator at Collins, Mont., is surrounded by fields sprouting with tender, green wheat and mountain ranges gleaming with snow. This scenic, remote setting is connected to the global grain trade by the ribbons of rail running through it. Railroads that link elevators at Collins and elsewhere to export and domestic markets serve as rural lifelines. Providing further life support to these grain shippers is CHS, a company that keeps its collected fingers on the pulse of rail shipping. A CHS core strength is the ability to manage the grain supply chain for the well-being of its operations and those of its local shipper-customers, including Mountain View Co-op.
