In a deal that closed Thursday, June 27, with COFCO International, GROWMARK became the sole owner of one of the most influential grain warehouses in the state of Illinois due to its connection with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). The purchase also marks the first time the facility will be owned by an American agricultural cooperative.

Many factors affect available US gasoline supply, and ultimately wholesale/retail gasoline prices. The summer driving season, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, can worsen the impact of supply disruptions.

GROWMARK announced today it has signed a letter of intent to acquire AgraForm, LLC., a leading agrichemical manufacturing company located in St. Louis, Missouri.
