Fertilizer Bulls Are Ignoring Planting Cycles

Visaman, I disagree. The author clearly notes that the thesis of fertilizer bulls revolves around two prongs, "surging world demand" and "the recent flooding in the Midwest". He agrees with the former prong and then clearly and conscioulsy devotes his piece to offering insight into the latter. The Midwest flooding is a short term event here in the US. What does the World Market in the short term have to do with it perhaps being too late to replant corn (other than enticing a farmer to push the risk due to higher reward)? Other commenters added valuable insight (such as, Duh! They can plant other crops later than corn).
