Exhibit 17.1

CHS Board of Directors
5500 Cenex Drive
Inver Grove Heights, MN 55077-1733
Dear Members of the CHS Board of Directors:
As I have previously expressed, I disagreed with the Board’s determination to hire Jay Debertin as CEO of CHS Inc.
Consequently, I feel I must resign from the CHS Board of Directors and I hereby resign my position as a member of the CHS Board of Directors as of today.
Regards,
/s/ David J. Bielenberg
