With the 2009 harvest being as late as it was, do you expect 2010 spring fertilizer applications to increase vs. 2009?

We are in an area that has predominately been a large winter wheat producing area. We have been shifting acres to row crops over the last decade slowly, but due to the late harvest, 2009 row crop was not harvested in time to get all of the 2010 wheat crop planted. It affected fall 2009 fertilizer applications and will increase winter and spring 2010 fertilizer applications as well as seed an CP products in 2010. It will also affect our application business for all of 2010.

If growers in the central Texas area want to increase there fertilizer use, they will have to obtain permission or funds from there bankers. With that said I feel our fertilizer inputs will remain about the same as last year.
