From farm planning to soil testing, crop scouting and crop protection recommendations, Agronomist Sydney Swanson says the support she gives cooperative farmer-owners in western South Dakota is helping to feed the world, acre by acre.

Based in Philip, S.D., Swanson is a member part of the CHS River Plains agronomy team. “I’m proud to work for a co-op,” she says. “Everyone at CHS has that same goal: to provide customers with everything they need to have a successful year.”
