When is best time to buy fertilizer before year end?

[Hopperbin]

what ever happened to the news about the low water in the Mississippi and the threat of not being able to float fert. northward? That could be disastrous for our spring price. Another thing I am always perturbed about is why we cannot purchase anhydrous at this time of year for spring delivery? why why why

Pretty simple hopper.
A good exscuse to gouge, gouge, gouge.
And trust me it's not your retailers fault. Thank
agrium Cargill Koch for that!

Usually buy all my fertilizer now and have started this year. 8 or 9 years out of 10 it pays me well, a lot better return than my other investments. Several times is has paid more than my bins cost. So if you dislike Agrium (and I can understand that) you can cut off your nose to spite your face and not move any of their inventory.
By the way I read just recently that the all in cost for manufacture and distribution of 46-00-00 at CF in Medicine Hat was $190.00/ tonne for 2011 and it is less for 2012. I just paid $595. (Maybe an investment in FNA's plant project would be okay??)

Someone is making sense! If you owned shares
in Agrium or Yara you would think the prices are
too high. Maybe offset some of the pain of high
prices with some of your fund money.

Rusty,
That is the whole problem with the stock
market and , I hate this term, corporate
america. I have no problem getting
screwed by a a company so long as I can
buy shares and at least get a reach
around out of it. The trouble now days
is that you go buy share now and they
are extremely volatile and the dividends
are crap compared to what the profits
and cash holdings are. The system is
broken.

Anyone buy Yara when i suggested it? Up over 20 percent in 3 months. Dividend rate not great at todays price but its history is increasing. I did not buy by the way.
