Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

CHS Inc. (the "Company") held its Annual Meeting December 1-2, 2005, and the following directors were re-elected to the Board of Directors for a three-year term: Bruce Anderson, David Bielenberg, Curt Eischens, Robert Grabarski, Jerry Hasnedl, Glen Keppy and Richard Owen. The following directors’ terms of office continued after the meeting: Robert Bass, Dennis Carlson, Robert Elliott, Steve Fritel, James Kile, Randy Knecht, Michael Mulcahey, Duane Stenzel, Michael Toelle and Merlin Van Walleghen.





Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

The Company’s members adopted a resolution to amend the Company’s Bylaws during its Annual Meeting held December 1-2, 2005, to reflect a change in member representation. The amendment eliminates one director position from Region 6 (Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Utah) and adds one director position to Region 8 (Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico). The shift in director representation was based upon recent business volume generated and equity held by members in those respective regions, and will be effective for elections held as of the 2006 Annual Meeting. The total number of director positions remains at seventeen. The amended Bylaws will be filed with the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2005.
