This is a long term growth stock. As the world requres more protein in its diet, due to growing wealth across the globe, fertilizer manufacturers are going to reap the profits. Worldwide demand for their product is going to be steady at worst and exponential as a standard. Norman Borlaug exposed most of the world to commercially-produced fertilizersin the 1950's. The wealth created from the desire of the United States to import all items not technological in nature(i.e., textiles and other goods made much cheaper overseas, China and India)has allowed the underpriviledged of the world to add meat and other high protein items to their diet. This demand for protein coupled with our(USA) desire for renewable fuels has created the "perfect storm" for all things agriculture related. Any competently-managed, agriculture-based company worth a damn should be forecast as an outperform. There will be hiccups along the way but, the world has to eat. With fewer acres available and more mouths to feed agriculture will provide and allow more technological innovations to be discovered. Somewhere a bright young mind is studying medicine, engineering, or chemistry instead of having to worry where his next meal is going to be grown.





As a disclaimer I do not own this stock currently, but I do work in agriculture.
