Canola processing
Championing canola product production
We work with farmers and cooperatives throughout the northern United States and Canada to originate canola for processing in Hallock, Minnesota. This processing plant is designed to receive the local canola crop and process it into food ingredients and animal feed. These value-added canola products are sold around the world to make products for the food and animal agriculture industries.
Canola value chain
Canola seed is delivered to the plant year-round and processed into refined, food-grade canola oil and canola meal. The oil is sold to local food companies for use in cooking oil, salad dressing and sauces. Canola meal is sold to animal producers and feed mills for use in feed products.
Canola products from CHS
We receive seed, clean it, and prepare it for crushing. Through the crushing process, crude canola oil is extracted. The oil is refined and can be sold to local food companies. The meal that is left over from the crushing process is then sold to hog and poultry producers in the area for animal feed.
Refined canola oil
This product is sold directly to companies that package and sell it, or companies that use it to make salad dressings and other sauces.
Canola meal
This is an animal feed product that is sold to local animal producers to mix into a ration.
