Cowden Terminal

CF's Cowden terminal is located in southern Illinois near several major highways including Interstates 57 and 70. An average of 90,000 tons of fertilizer is transported through the facility annually.

Terminal services include six ammonia loading racks. The average truck-loading time under normal conditions is 30 minutes.

CF Industries believes in supporting the communities where we live and work, employing a highly local giving strategy aligned with our business strategy. In line with this philosophy, the Cowden Terminal works to be an active, positive member of the community by investing in local emergency response and education organizations, including the Cowden Fire Department, Tri-County Fire Department, Cowden First Responders and teacher-developed projects at the Cowden-Herrick School District.

Our top priority at CF Industries is the safety of those who work at or live near our locations. Safety at CF Industries starts with our Do It Right philosophy, which includes equipping our employees with the proper safety knowledge, tools and procedures, and a culture that encourages employees to act with safety in mind every time they come to work.
