Income Tax Disclosure (Notes)	9 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	Income Taxes During the three months ended May 31, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted a resolution to treat equity redemptions of non-qualified equity certificates issued in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014 in the same manner as qualified equity certificates are treated and redeemed under the “Eligible Annual Association Equity” provision of the Board's Policy for the Redemption of CHS Inc. Equities. Previously we had not established an intent regarding the redemption of non-qualified equity certificates issued to cooperative association members and other corporate entity non-qualified equity participants, thus the tax benefit associated with redemption would have been recognized in future periods as those redemptions occurred. As a result of the new resolution, we recorded a $75.0 million deferred tax benefit during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 related to the future redemption, at the discretion of our Board of Directors, of non-qualified equity certificates to cooperative association members and other corporate entity non-qualified equity participants. During the three months ended May 31, 2017, we incurred losses associated with a trading partner of ours in Brazil entering into bankruptcy proceedings under Brazilian law, and we will be required to fund approximately $230.0 million of losses in our Brazilian operations via guarantees in place with our Brazilian subsidiary and its lending syndicate. Performance of these guarantees results in a bad debt deduction on our U.S. tax return, subject to the insurance and subrogation recovery provisions within the U.S. Tax Code. As a result of performance on the guarantee, we recorded an $84.4 million deferred tax benefit during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. These two tax benefits are the primary contributors to our tax benefit position for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2017, within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
