Fertilizers (DOW) (IPI) (TNH) (AGU) Pressured on Weak Crop Prices
Dow Chemical (NYSE:DOW), Intrepid Potash (NYSE:IPI), Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (NYSE:TNH) and Agrium (NYSE:AGU) traded down Friday, with the exception of Agrium, as a down week for major crops pressured the sector.
Corn and wheat finished down last week while soybeans were almost unchanged. A bearish USDA report weighed on the grains. Eventually the weather, flooding of the Mississippi and lack of activity in the fields will probably push up the prices of grains in the weeks ahead.
Corn futures for July-delivery climbed 6.5 cents, or 1 percent, to $6.87 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade. The price was down a little last week after dropping by the limit of 30 cents on May 11 when a U.S. report saidinventories will be largger than analysts estimated.
Wheat for July delivery gained 8.5 cents, or 1.2 percent, to $7.44 a bushel in Chicago. The contract fell 2 percent last week, the third straight week of losses, after the government projected stockpiles in 2012 to be higher than expected.
Soybeans for July delivery rose 9 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $13.5175 a bushel in Chicago after gaining 0.8 percent Thursday. The oilseed was up slightly on the aguweek, gaining 1.9 percent.
Agrium (AGU) closed Friday at $80.43, gaining $1.31, or 1.53 percent.

Deere (DE) (TNH) (AGU) (DE) (AGCO) Driven by Wheat, Corn Profits
Wheat and corn prices continue to drive the profits of farmers up, resulting in capex from them toward companies like Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (NYSE:TNH), Agrium (NYSE:AGU), Deere & Co. (NYSE:DE) and Agco (NYSE:AGCO) driven up by wheat, corn profits.
How quickly the griping from farmers has subsided since the worst of the recession when they were complaining about high input costs.
The U.S. will control 28 percent of global wheat exports in 2011, an increase from 18 percent in 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. With prices averaging about $8 a bushel this quarter and the next, the highest levels in three years, farms will earn approximately $94.7 billion, according to analysts’ forecasts compiled by Bloomberg and an estimate from the USDA.
Other considerations for investors to consider is how this will impact shipping. Expectations are shipping lines won't benefit much from the increase in production because the U.S. is replacing lost supply from Russia and Ukraine.
Domestically it could help those companies shipping within borders, as it could offer some major boosts in that regard.
