Or makes the steel and plastic tractor, or runs and feeds the fertilizer plant.


Approximately 25% of the U.S. ammonia production was shutdown and plants have been permanently mothballed or
dismantled and sold to Asian countries. This was before this most recent go around with high gas prices. Around 80
to 85% of the cost of producing ammonia is directly related to the price of natural gas. Many producers are eyeing
off shore production in places like Trinidad. I am very concerned for the welfare of any high energy consuming
manufacturing facility in the U.S. It appears our day in the sun has passed.
