CHS Foundation now accepting scholarship applications
High school and two-year college students are invited to apply for a $1,000 scholarship from the CHS Foundation. The CHS Foundation will award 50 $1,000 high school scholarships to students planning to study an agricultural field at a two or four-year college and 25 $1,000 two-year college scholarships to first-year agricultural students attending a two-year college.
“The CHS Foundation is committed to helping create a strong future—and strong future leaders—for rural America,” says William Nelson, president CHS Foundation vice president, CHS Corporate Citizenship. “We are proud to act on this commitment by offering scholarships to help prepare the next generation of leaders in production, science, technology and business agriculture.”
The application deadline for scholarships is April 1, 2012. An independent, external committee will select scholarship recipients based on essays, transcripts and reference letters. For eligibility information and application forms, students should visit the University Partnerships section of the CHS Foundation website.
The CHS Foundation also offers four-year university scholarships for students currently working toward an agricultural-related degree. Application deadlines vary for each participating university.

New Mandates for Farmer Fuel Storage Currently in Effect!
If you store more than 1,320 gallons in an above-ground tank larger than 55-gallon or 42,000 gallons in underground tanks you must prepare an Oil Spill Prevention, and Control, and Countermeasure. For more information click the following link www.epa.gov/emergencies/content/spec/index.htm.
Farmers with above-ground storage capacity between 1,320 and 10,000 gallons in tanks no larger than 5,000 gallons each can self-certify their own plan and use a plan template located on the EPA website at www.epa.gov/oemcontent/spec/tier1temp.htm
Farmers with more than 10,000 gallons of above-ground capacity or who have above-ground tanks larger than 5,000 gallons must have their plan certified by a PE. For more details about SPCC plans, review the EPA Fact Sheet @ www.epa.gov/oem/docs/oil/spcc/spccfarms.pdf for farmers.
