Fertilizer Use Drops As Economy Slows Demand
Washington AP government data show March fertilizer deliveries in 19 major farm states fell 23 percent from March 1979, the first decline in the marketing year begun last July. Higher prices for fertilizer energy and interest plus tight credit drive the drop, with ESCS forecasting a 3 to 7 percent yearly decline. Delivery declines varied by fertilizer type while overall nine month demand remained 9 percent above last year.
