australian potash demand to surge

Going to see a massive double digit increase in potash consumption in 2009 now we are on track for a very large Australian 2008 winter crop. Record acres sown to crops = record mining of potash by the nations grain crops. All must be replaced prior to the next season's crop. This also follows a record 2008 summer crop in Qld/NSW. Even more of a gap for RWD to sell product into once it gets this show on the road. Australian consumption of potash could well have grown 100,000 to 200,000 t/annum by the time it gets to production.

I'm glad I robustly topped up my potash levels across the farm last year at cheap prices.
