As much as I hate to say it, I have to agree with you. The growth in meat consumption is faltering, so the demand for feed crops is diminishing, so the demand for fertilizer is waning. This won't be a long term condition, but for now profit growth in crops doesn't appear to be a smart bet. Best to hold onto your money for now. I think there is a similar situation going on with the railroads (which normally I like). With crop demand dropping, the need to ship those crops by rail is falteriing. (Sigh)
