Through the CHS Seeds for Stewardship program, the City of Cottonwood is receiving $10,000 to revitalize the city park.
“A fully functional park is an effective way to build a sense of community and improve quality of life for all of our Cottonwood residents,” says Linda Nida, Cottonwood city council member. “The CHS Seeds for Stewardship grant funds will allow us to make available a safe and accessible play space at our city park.”
The CHS Seeds for Stewardship program supports organizations and projects that are focused on safety, ag education, and strengthening and uplifting hometown communities. The funds like those being donated by CHS Primeland are part of the CHS commitment to empower a safer, stronger rural America through financial support that goes directly back into communities where CHS farmer- and rancher-owners and employees work, live and do business. 
“CHS is proud to support the revitalization of the Cottonwood City Park,” says Ken Blakeman, general manager and senior director of operations, CHS Primeland. “The upgrades to the park will provide a space for children to play safely and other community members to gather for community events and functions.”
