Fertilizer demand may rise for 2011 growing season
It’s anticipated that fertilizer demand will be up for the coming growing season. Kathy Mathers with The Fertilizer Institute says demand for grains is pushing the demand for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. She says all three will see demand growth of four to ten percent. She also anticipates that shipping fertilizers by rail will cost more, while sea shipping rates will fall. Mathers says growers have a lot invested in seed and equipment. “Make sure that you’re feeding that seed, which is often times a very Olympic level seed, an Olympic level diet,” says Mathers.
