Coldwater, Michigan | I understand! With the US being the number 3 user of fertilizer behind first "China" , then "India", if they don't sell it to us, they already have a buyer wanting more of it. It's a lot different than the way it was even 10-15 years ago, when we more or less made the market. The largest Canadian Potash producer supposedly just completed a negotiation with China for up to a 1/3 of their total production.
Also, if you are a Canadian producer of Potash and the US deliberately ruins their dollar such that the Canadian dollar is now on par with USD, that causes the US farmer to have to pay more whether the Potash producer raised their prices or not. Then the potash producer raises their price on top of that! A lot of the raise we have seen on foreign sourced fertilizer is due strictly to our dollar being worth less to the rest of the world. So it takes more of them to buy the same product even if they didn't raise the price.
But they did that also!
