What's in Store for the Fertilizer Industry?

I've been wondering too. When I'm not researching equities I might be buying and applying organic fertilizers. Prices have stabilized but stabilized high. Same with chicken feed.

And the difference between the 70's and now amount to 3 billion extra mouths to feed. And from what I'm being told nitrogen in particular from China was slowing considerably before summer (based on what I saw from the pre-Olympic sailing invasive species hyper-population no wonder if they are consuming nitrogen domestically). Employing nitrogen-fixing species in farming is a useful but slower process and not practical for corn.

And if prices fall won't that drive supply out of the market too? As long as we are stuck with ethanol as a "solution" fundamentals IMHO will prevail. The buy signal? Mirror mirror on the wall.
