Ag health and safety
Paving the way for a safer future
As a core value, CHS puts the safety and well-being of people, customers and communities first every day. As part of that effort, the CHS Foundation provides funding for ag health and safety initiatives that provide training, equipment, and industry expertise to help keep farm families and rural communities safe. We’ve worked with industry partners like the Progressive Agriculture Foundation and AgriSafe to help over 32,000 youth learn ag safety lesson and assisted hundreds of communities with safety equipment and training.
