Today’s agriculture is equal parts experience, equipment, technology, and insight. The CFS agronomy department has all four covered.
In this digital age, speed is everything. Bigger equipment means a shorter harvest, so our facilities are geared to handle your grain quickly, get you back to the field, and keep that grain in top condition until it’s marketed.
Quality feed at competitive prices—with the experience and product knowledge to back up the sale. That’s what you want in a feed supplier, and that’s what we offer at CFS.
We’ve worked hard to build a reputation for responsive energy service. Whatever your energy need, we can meet it.
It’s all in the palm of your hands! All you need to do is grab your phone and open the CFS app and it connects you with your account, agronomist, and data. It is simple to use and is a great way to stay connected with all the information that is pertinent to your operation.
