This is good for the home hobbyist. If you experience good success and want to try more, I would invest in a professional soil block maker that can do multiples at a time.
See this site for some great advise and ideas on the soil block method. I am not affiliated with it. http://www.pottingblocks.com/ The gentleman who runs the site is very knowledgeable and helpful in returning emails. He also has supplies and square soil block makers at reasonable prices. I learned a lot from all of the content he shares.
Step 1: Parts and Tools
2" inside diameter PVC pipe
3/4" wood dowel
circle cutter for use in drill press only
3/4" forstner drill bit
hand saw - not shown
Polyurethane - water based or similar to seal
3/4" wood screws
3/4" thick wood scrap (I used Pine)
The drawing shows the idea of the soil blocker. You can start off a seedling in a 3/4" block then transplant to the the 2" block, then a larger block or pot. No shock to roots.
Step 2: Cut Out Disks
Step 3: Drill Holes
Step 4: Dry Fit and Assemble
Glue in 3/4" dowel to the handle disk
Cut the pvc pipe to 3.5" long.
Put top disk in flush with the top. Drive a screws into opposite sides to secure.
Seal with polyurethane (3-4 coats)
Put handle rod assembly into hole
Attach plunger disk flush with bottom of rod for a solid soil block. Secure disk to rod with a screw.
Or attach plunger disk 3/4" up from bottom of rod to make a soil block with 3/4" hole to accept a 3/4" soil block transplant.
Put some candle wax on the 2" plunger disk if tight to help smooth the stroke.
Step 5: Finished Assembly
Step 6: Soil Block Mix
1/2 cup lime. Mix ingredients together thoroughly.
2 buckets coarse sand or perlite
3 cups base fertilizer (equal part mix blood meal, colloidal phosphate, and greensand). Mix.
1 bucket garden soil
2 buckets well-decomposed compost. Mix ingredients together thoroughly.
* From The New Organic Grower, by Eliot Coleman
Or you can use any good organic potting soil. I found a bag of Master Nursury Gardener's Gold Organic potting mix and it works great. I did make my own blend as above too, but it was expensive and time consuming trying to locate greensand, colloidal phosphate (gave up - could not find), etc.
Add 1 part water to 3 parts soil mix. Mix to a soft putty or wet cement (not soupy). A soil block needs to have the soil packed tight. Rinse out blocker in bucket of water after each block is made. This will help release each new block made.
Remember that soil blocks can dry out faster than soil in flats or pots. Keep an eye on them. Good luck!

Aruncus 'Noble Spirit' Dwarf Goats Beard
For a decorative, fern-like foliage and white flower spikes in late spring, start Aruncus seeds and enjoy this perennial for part sun. Similar to Astilbe, Aruncus is excellent for the shady landscape, and the foliage stays attractive all season long. Commonly, it is known as Dwarf Goat's Beard or Dwarf Korean Goatsbeard, and it's a great choice for a woodland garden or rock garden in part shade. How to Grow Goatsbeard: Aruncus seeds do best with a cold/moist stratification before sowing. Self-sown seedlings are possible, but transplanting is not a problem for this perennial.

Ideal for containers or raised beds because of its compact size, Marrow White summer squash is a Lebanese-type squash that has earned its keep in any any garden! The snowy white 8-inch long fruits is often harvested young and eaten like zucchini. It can also be allowed to mature to 10 inches, when its skin becomes hard like a winter squash; at this level of maturity, it becomes ideal for stuffing and baking! However you choose to enjoy it, Marrow White is an excellent choice for the home garden.

A new edition (no. 9) of the FF-IPM – Fruit Flies In-silico Prevention & Management project newsletter is now available.
This project, funded by the European Union, aims to protect fruit production and trade from the threats caused by fruit flies. The project’s newsletters are published quarterly.
In this issue, we highlight the interview with Aruna Manrakhan, conducted by CEI-Iscte researchers Ana Larcher Carvalho and Ulrich Schiefer, in which in which the fundamental role of South Africa’s fruit production industry, which covers more than 200,000 hectares, provides employment for thousands of people and generates substantial revenue, especially from exports, was emphasised. In this industry, the monitoring of fruit fly species and fruit pests is carried out using traps in the orchards.

How to care for English Lavender
English Lavender needs 0.5 cups of water every 9 when it doesn’t get direct sunlight and is potted in a 5" pot located in Tallahassee, FL.
Use the calculator below to personalize watering recommendations to your environment, or download Greg for more advanced recommendations for all of your plants.
English Lavender may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth during this time of higher sunlight intensity in Tallahassee, FL ☀.
This is a great time to watch your English Lavender thrive 🌿!
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your English Lavender after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Moscow: President Vladimir Putin has said Russia is suspending — but not ending — its participation in a deal that allows safe passage to vessels carrying Ukrainian grain exports.
Moscow pulled out of the UN-brokered agreement on Saturday, alleging that Ukraine had used a safety corridor in the Black Sea to attack its fleet, BBC reported.
The UN says there were no ships inside the corridor that night. Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the attack.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the deal would be honoured and accused Russia of “blackmailing the world with hunger” — a claim Russia denies.
Despite the fallout, 12 ships containing 354,500 tonnes of food, including grain, left Ukraine’s Black Sea ports on Monday, Ukraine’s Infrastructure Ministry said.
One of the vessels carrying 40,000 tonnes of grain was destined for Ethiopia, where “the real possibility of mass starvation” existed, the BBC quoted the Ministry as saying.
After Russia invaded Ukraine in February, its navy imposed a blockade on Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, trapping about 20 million tonnes of grain meant for export inside the country, along with other foodstuffs such as maize and sunflower oil.
But in July, a deal between Ukraine and Russia was brokered by Turkey and the UN, agreeing to resume grain exports through the Black Sea ports.


It's the middle of summer and I didn't plant a garden this year but thank goodness for the many Farmer's Markets in Southern California! I have heard some snooty opinions on the "Best", usually hours from where I live but the best ones for me are always Locally Grown! I like supporting the small backyard farmers and local growers in my neck of the woods...they are like neighbors to me. Often I am surprised to find out they are acquaintances who soon become friends as we do business together...that means samples and specials and set asides!
It is good to know that there are people in my area who are equally concerned about the toxic effects of pesticides and herbicides so they grow their own food and in the process have extra to share in the local Farmer's Markets. I find everything I need in fruits and vegetables except maybe lettuces since we live in such a hot summer area, they don't do well. Now I just have to get someone to grow golden beets for my favorite roasted beet salad...although one of my new faves is a purslane (weed) salad with a lemony garlicy dressing and good crusty Italian Semolina bread from the market.
That's another great thing about the Farmer's Markets...wonderful breads, marinated garlics, olives, homemade cheeses, local honeys, homemade soaps and so much more. LOVE IT! Go visit one and don't forget to recycle your grocery bags or take your cloth ones. Don't know where you can find one? In Southern California the Los Angeles Times has a great interactive map here and nationally here. Have fun!


Ukraine and Russia are both major exporters of foodstuffs and fertilisers. Consequently, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 led to fears of an impending food crisis, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. Prices did indeed rise steeply in March 2022 as Russia blockaded Ukrainian ports.
Although global food prices remain elevated, they have fallen over the past year. This is partly due to mitigating measures, particularly the Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI). However, prices were already high before the war due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The BSGI was further extended in March until May 2023 at least. Each deadline gives Russia a new opportunity to press for concessions on sanctions, as Ukraine sorely needs the export revenues, and there is ongoing concern regarding world food prices.
While a continuation of the BSGI is highly preferable, it is also important to note that the initial food crisis fears were somewhat overblown. Russia’s leverage is limited. Higher food prices do take a toll on the poorest, but world food markets also have a high degree of flexibility and thereby resilience. Scuttling the deal would also incur costs for Russia and is therefore unlikely to happen.

It’s been days now that the rain has been falling on and off mostly in the afternoon and night time. Most mornings we wake up to sunshine and we thought no rain was going to come, but in the afternoon it started to get gloomy and started to rain. It is nice and I like rain so much for us and for the plants. As you can see in the photos we have lots of trees in our yard. Most of them are fruit trees, like mangoes, coconuts, guavas, papayas and bananas. Most of the said trees were already planted before we bought this lot. So these trees are why we got a good deal on this lot, but like I said we need lots of rain for them and thankfully to God we have regular rain since the rainy season started.

Flour mills in Shanghai booked bushels of Australian Wheat and bushels of Argentine wheat during the week ended February 22, according to a radiogram from the Shanghai office of the Foreign Agricul tural Service. While interested in making further purchases of foreign Wheat, favor is shown Australian grain, since it can be delivered more quickly than Wheat from other countries. Offerings of domestic Wheat were very small. The Shanghai flour market continued firm and steady, with mills operating at 65-percent capacity. It is estimated that they were using about190 percent foreign and 10 percent domestic wheat. Stocks remained very ow.

Welcome letter from TRT President CEO
Welcome from the Conference Chairman and Host, President and CEO of the International Commodity Institute and The Rice Trader, Jeremy Zwinger
Dear Delegates, Distinguished Speakers and Friends,
It is with great sadness that we meet at this, our 8th TRT World Rice Conference, as the world, as Thailand lost a King amongst Kings, the world’s longest serving monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej. We would like to express our deepest condolences to the people of Thailand, while also recognizing your King’s contributions across and beyond Thailand. We join our hosts in mourning Thailand’s loss.
The conference is timed to coincide with the key harvest period in Asia, and after 2015 (and even 2014) was afflicted by drought and challenges in production which provided the undercurrent for some of the most impressive trading years seem, we are now looking ahead at what looks like a vastly improved prospect for rice production in several key markets, while the global rice markets continue to deal with the availability and even need to dispose Thai stocks as well as to find a fresh trend to take us through the upcoming season. This is an excellent time to meet, an opportunity presents itself here to understand the mechanics at work as a new trading year unfolds. We are pleased to deliver a mix of speaker who will represent market experts and leaders from across the supply chain who will enable markets and provide us with a peek at what lies ahead.
This year’s conference also features the 8th Annual Best Rice in the World Contest. International recognition awaits the the country that produces the highest quality, and best tasting rice in the world. Last year’s contest resulted in U.S Calrose taking the prize for Best Rice in the World and we continue to receive more interest year-on-year, as the race to be recognized as the best offers a kaleidoscope of opportunity in the global rice market.
We would also like to extend a special thanks to our sponsors and supporting organizations, including Gold Sponsors, Buhler, New Senior Corporate Sponsors, SangFah Agri Product Co. Ltd and Thanasan Rice Co. Ltd, Welcome reception sponsors EFA Group and MSC (M, Phoenix Commodities, Conference Bag sponsors Filhet-Allard Maritime, Coffee Break Sponsors EFA Group and Mediterranean Shipping (Thailand) Co, Stationery sponsor, Sleepwell Industries/Thai Rice and Food Co.

Terra Firma has over 15 years experience producing high quality organic fruit and vegetables for its Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA). At most times of year, we are harvesting and packing a wide variety of seasonably available items from our fields. We use survey data and feedback from our subscribers to determine “what” and “how much” people want to get in their boxes each week. Our produce was also subjected to rigorous testing by shoppers in Davis, Berkeley, San Francisco, and San Rafael during more than a decade of sales at farmers markets. We also grow produce for retail outlets like Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco and the Davis and Sacramento Natural Foods Co-ops, as well as restaurants such as Chez Panisse, Oliveto, Quince, and Zuni.
We take the responsibility of feeding our subscribers seriously. While we are continually evaluating new crops and new varieties on our farm, we will try to fill our CSA boxes with items that we are sure our subscribers want to eat. Tomatoes are a perennial favorite, and we have one of the longest tomato growing seasons of any farm in Northern California. Our strawberries are another popular item, despite an often short season. Others might surprise you: subscribers rave about our winter-grow cauliflower, tender and sweet, as well as our garlic with its extra large and juicy cloves.

New twist on an old favorite: Marinated Asian Cucumber Salad
Fresh long, seedless cucumbers are showing up at the farmers market and some grocery stores that carry produce from local growers. I buy cucumbers just as I buy fresh tomatoes - only in the summer when I can get them from local farmers or pluck them from the two plants I have in my little garden. To me, it's the only way to get the true clean, refreshing flavor and crisp texture that cucumbers are supposed to have.

We learned from the owner of the grove that this area, as well as the entire nation of Israel, is experiencing a severe drought. He estimated that the sea is 20 ft below its normal level, which translates into a dramatic water shortage for the irrigation of the olive trees, almond trees, grape vineyards, winter wheat and all other crops grown in that region. As we continued our tour we prayed over the land and asked our Father God to open the windows of heaven and bring the much-needed rain. We would implore everyone who reads this to join with us in praying for the waters to fall from heaven--that He would bless the land with rain.
at the olive grove, inspecting and praying over the olives
All in all, our time here in the Holy Land has been tremendously fruitful and blessed. We leave knowing that God continues to have His hand on this promised land, in times of drought as well as rain, conflict as well as peace. And we are thankful that the fighting in the south has stopped. We commit, as always, the Israeli people and the Palestinian people to God in prayer. May His kingdom come, and His will be done.
Many thanks to those who covered us in prayer during our weeks in Israel. Blessings to you all.


Russia's Uralkali to up potash price for China by 10%
Russia's Uralkali, the world's largest potash producer, said it may increase the price for a new 2015 supply contract with China by 10 percent, pressing efforts to restore prices to levels seen before last year's slump.
Global potash prices fell sharply after Uralkali quit a powerful trading alliance with Belarus in July 2013, sparking competition among producers who had previously maintained price discipline.
"Traditionally, China's market, which is set to consume 12 million tonnes of potash this year, is a growth driver," Oleg Petrov, Uralkali's head of sales, told Reuters. "The estimated price may exceed the current contract price by 10 percent."
China is the world's largest potash consumer whose contracts are seen as a benchmark by the bulk of market participants. Currently, Uralkali has a contract to supply China with 700,000 tonnes of the soil nutrient at $305 per tonne on a cost-and-freight basis.
Negotiations over the new contract are expected to start this autumn and to end by January 2015, Petrov said in emailed answers to Reuters questions. He declined to comment on the volume of future supplies.
A 10 percent increase in the 2015 contract price would still leave prices far behind the $400-per-tonne level, at which Uralkali had been supplying potash to China in the first half of 2013, before the collapse of its trading alliance.
However, a new Chinese contract should stimulate growth in consumption and global potash deliveries are expected to reach 60 million tonnes in 2015, up 2 million tonnes from 2014, Uralkali said.
Its withdrawal from the Belarus trading venture, which controlled 40 percent of the $20 billion global market for the fertiliser, left a group called Canpotex - owned by Potash Corp of Saskatchewan, Mosaic Co and Agrium Inc - as the world's top export group.
Potash Corp said last week it had a strong potash order book from U.S. buyers for the second half, and Canpotex was fully committed through the third quarter with China driving some of the renewed potash demand.

George Maponga in Masvingo
The Second Republic is forging ahead with its thrust to industrialise rural areas in line with its Vision 2030 with a $50 million Amarula Fruit Processing and Value Addition plant set to be commissioned at Rutenga Growth point next week.
The Amarula plant is one of the flagship government projects being rolled out in Masvingo province to transform the socio-economic face of the province in line with the National Development Strategy(NDS 1).
The National Biotechnology Authority of Zimbabwe (NBAZ) which is an autonomous research body under the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development built the plant that will change the face of Rutenga and the entire Mwenezi District.
President Mnangagwa is expected to commission the plant on Monday next week. The plant is expected employ 100 people directly while over 30 000 households will indirectly get employment by supplying mapfura —the raw material-to the plant.
Produce from the plant which includes edible oils,fruit juice and stock feed will be supplied to both the local foreign markets.
The investment highlights the successful drive by President Mnangagwa’s administration to use local resources to drive national economic development as Zimbabwe angles to become an upper middle income society by 2030.
Mwenezi Rural District Council(MRDC) chief executive Mr Albert Chivanga yesterday confirmed that President Mnangagwa will commission the landmark plant.
The processing and value addition plant will be the first manufacturing industry at Rutenga Growth Point in the rural Mwenezi heartland. Rutenga is already eyeing town status.
“The plant (Amarula processing and value addition) will be commissioned by President Mnangagwa on 25 October and workmen are currently doing touch ups ahead of its official opening,”said Mr Chivanga.
“Machinery for the plant is already there and everything is now almost in place. The investment is so far worth$46,5 million and the cost will likely increase slightly as some additional works will be done at the plant.”
Mr Chivanga disclosed that the plant will be a game changer in the employment sphere will slightly less than 20 percent of the population set to indirectly benefit from the investment.
Mwenezi is predominated by the mapfura fruit which is normally harvested during the peak season from end of January to end of April annually.
Villagers will pick the abundant mapfura fruit for sale to the plant.
“Our calculations show that about 30 967 households will be directly employed via supplying the raw material for the processing and value addition plant at Rutenga. About 100 direct jobs will be created.”
Mr Chivanga said there was excitement across Rutenga and Mwenezi over the impending opening of the fruit processing plant that will uplift many families from poverty using local available resources.
Plans are also afoot to establish a plantation Amarula fruit trees near Rutenga that will be irrigated using water from Manyuchi Dam.
The plantation will straddle over 10 000hectares and will also supply the processing and value addition plant at Rutenga.

Question & Answer
I would like to buy a pecan nut tree. Can you tell me which one would be best suited for the Boonah area? Are you able to courier 1 tree and how much would the tree and transport cost? Thank you. From: KARALEE QLD
Hi Wendy, all our Pecan varieties should do very well in the Boonah region, If you only want one I would try a good self pollinating variety like Shoshoni or Cheyenne, If you have space for 1 of each you will get even better crops with both these planted next to each.

The Iranian Minister and other officials consuming the drink
The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in partnership with the Government of Ghana, has inaugurated a juice processing factory at Asamankese in the Lower West Akim Municipality of the Eastern Region.
Sunhaverst Juice Processing Factory will produce canned fruit juice, vegetables, among others, for the local and international market.
It is expected to create jobs for the youth as part of efforts to bolster the Akufo-Addo administration’s industrial and infrastructure development agenda.
The commissioning of the project would herald a new wave of cooperation between Ghana and Iran which would boost the economies of the two countries.
The juice factory is an initiative of Gifty Klenam, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ghana Export Promotion Authority and her business counterpart from Iran, who led the Minister of Agriculture of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Hojjati, to officially commission the factory as part of the ‘One District, One Factory’ flagship programme.
The Minister of Agriculture of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Hojjati, led a delegation to the Vice President Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, ahead of the 6th session of the Ghana-Iran Permanent Joint Commission for Cooperation.
Prior to the trip of the Iranian Agriculture Minister to Ghana, Vice President Dr Bawumia visited Iran in August 2017 to sign agreement with the Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani during his inauguration, for the construction of factories in the country.
Gifty Kleman, in her address at the short but colourful ceremony, which was graced by the chief of Asamankese, Osaberima Adu Darko said, “It is with exceptional pride that I stand before you today to tell you a story of humble beginnings of a lifetime dream that began in a tiny kitchen with a food blender. After five years, Sunharvest is a full-fledged fruit processing factory.”
She disclosed that “Given the magnitude of two countries’ population, which stands at more than 107 million, huge markets and potentials of our economies, there still exists great opportunities for us to cooperate with each other. It is my view that Ghana and Iran should make efforts to diversify our economic cooperation by expanding the scope of cooperation.”
“The vision for this project however far exceeds the processing of fruits. Sunharvest, together with our Iranian partners, through this project, plans to augment the efforts of the government of Ghana in adding value to both fruits and vegetables to attract premium value on the local and export markets, as well as create the much-needed jobs for the youth,” she underscored.
The Eastern Regional Minister, Eric Kwakye Darfour, on his part, called on the people in the region, especially the youth, to go into the cultivation of fruits to supply the fruits processing companies that are being established in the region.
The Minister of Agriculture for the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hon Mahamoud Hojjati, reaffirmed his country’s commitment to partnering Ghana in all sectors of the economy.
From Daniel Bampoe, Asamankese


Aksu Artux Kashgar TripOctober 14, 2005
Today we are going from Aksu to Kashgar ( 500km ). On the way, we will visit Artux, which is only 40km northwest of Kashgar. So though our destination today is Kashgar, the main activity is focused on Artux.
Artux, Atush or Atushi is the seat of Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture. It is situated south of the Tianshan mountains, in the northwest part of the Tarim Basin. Artux's economy is primarily agriculture, the agricultural products are mainly cotton, grapes, and sheep.
In Artux, we are arranged to visit a local huge grape garden. In the evening we are given an excellent folk performance. After the show, we drive to our destination - Kashgar and stay at the new hotel ( sorry, I forget the name of hotel ).

New season North Queensland blueberries are the really good news this week. We would normally be paying a fortune at this time of the year but new plantings at Tolga have fixed that. Grapes continue to be excellent but it is really only the Crimson seedless that you should buy, whites are now expensive and have been stored for a little too long, eat them quickly if you are going to purchase them. Hass avocados are very good now and the large sizes particularly have eased in price from last week. Australian Navel oranges have started but don't eat well enough yet. Much as we prefer to support the local industry I think we would be doing our customers no favours to sell this early fruit. Quinces are at their peak, in plums the flavourfalls are the only option now, still very good but not cheap. Finally, apples, by far the freshest apple is the pink lady, all other apples are that bit older and not as fresh. We have a fantastic Imperfect Pick option in our stores this week, cheap and great to eat.
The vegetable market continues to be well supplied this week. Tomato supplies are finally matching demand and the high prices of late will now start to ease, winter of course is never as cheap as summer. The imported asparagus is good and not dear, fennel and brown onions are very good value. Kumera, especially large sizes and imperfects are cheap, and local spinach, rhubarb and English spinach are very good and well-priced. Leeks continue to be good value and parsnips are starting to ease in price.

Auto Seeds Candy Kush
Auto Seeds Candy Kush is a collaboration of some of California’s finest kush genetics and Auto Pounder. After much experimenting, a seriously sweet Kush variety was hand selected. The resulting cross is a deliciously sweet, big yielding, autoflowering cannabis seeds strain. Super easy to grow, it branches out well giving abundant bud sites yet will still produce a large central cola coated in frosty resin. The fantastic Kush genetics have resulted in a highly mould and pest resistant strain. Grown under optimal conditions Candy Kush can yield a massive 400g/m2 making it second only to our monster Auto Pounder. As expected, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) levels are high giving an intense all over stone with possible medical applications such as pain relief and insomnia. As the name suggests the smoke is sweet and heady, almost narcotic. Overtones of spice and burnt caramel are pleasant making the taste one of the best characteristics of this knock out strain.
Please Note: This content is for informational and educational use only. The Attitude Seed bank sells all seeds strictly for souvenir purposes or for

Sherston mangold hurling event cancelled over lack of vegetables
An annual mangold hurling contest in Wiltshire has been cancelled due to a shortage of the root vegetables.
Organisers of the annual Mangold Hurl in Sherston said it is not a common vegetable and the farmer they usually obtained them from did not grow any.
The event is based on an ancient tradition of farmers using crops for sport.
Organiser Paul Ormiston said: "It's a shame. We have had to cancel because of a lack of a vegetable."
Mr Omiston said the event, which was due to take place on Sunday, requires 300-400 mangelwurzels.
He said: "We are going to have to look a lot closer to home next year. It is a possibility we will grow our own but we will need quite a few of them."
Mangold hurling was established in the 19th Century and has recently enjoyed a renaissance in the west country.
The Sherston Mangold Hurl was revived in 2006 and sees hundreds of the vegetables, which are similar to beetroots and used as fodder for cattle, thrown in a similar way to the French game of boules.
The contest involves teams of three competing to see who can land their mangold (also known as a mangold wurzel or mangelwurzel) nearest to a larger, leafless one, called a 'Norman'.


CALGARY (CP) -- Salman Partners analyst Raymond Goldie said the sell-off of Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (POT) and Agrium Inc. (AGU) are due to a disappointing quarterly report from an American peer.
But Goldie said the lacklustre results released Wednesday night by Mosaic Co. (MOS), a Minnesota-based fertilizer producer, were due to problems specific to the company, not the industry.
Another analyst also downplayed fears that a U.S. economic slowdown would have a severe impact on U.S. corn production - a major use of fertilizer - because of government subsidies.
Nevertheless, shares of Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan were off more than 19% around midday Thursday, falling to $110.
Calgary-based Agrium, another fertilizer producer that now has an extensive retail presence in the United States, plummeted nearly 22% to $45.68.
And Viterra Inc. (VT), created last year by the merger of Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Agricore United, saw its shares fall 5.1% to $9.49.
Viterra is a major seller of fertilizer, pesticides, seeds and other agricultural products as well as Canada's biggest publicly traded grain handler.
All three companies had been feasting earlier this year on high world prices for grains used for food, animal feed amid higher fuel costs and growing demand from rising economies in Asia.
For the period ending Aug. 31, Mosaic earned $1.18 billion, or $2.65 per share, compared with profit of $305.5 million, or 69 cents per share, during the same period a year ago. Revenue more than doubled to $4.32 billion from $2 billion.
But that missed Wall Street expectations, as analysts polled by Thomson Financial, on average, expected profit of $2.94 per share on revenue of $4.11 billion.
Goldman Sachs analyst Edlain Rodriguez pulled Mosaic from his "Americas Buy List," downgrading the stock to "Neutral." He also cut his six-month price target by $35 to $115.
Mosaic shares dropped $23.12, or 34 per cent on the New York stock market, to $43.71. They closed at $67.51 on Wednesday.
Also Thursday brokerage Merrill Lynch downgraded the potash sector from "buy" to "underperform" and said it expected earnings to fall.
But Goldie said Mosaic's miss was an isolated problem.
He said Mosaic was denied a permit to mine phosphates in Florida and is fighting the county council to have that decision reversed - a development that should, in theory, be positive for its Canadian competitors.
The prices of fertilizers on commodities markets are not to blame either, Goldie said.
"There has been weakness in phosphate prices, but it's tiny. Prices are still five times what they were a couple of years ago," he said, adding that nitrogen is seeing its usual seasonal drop.
"The fundamentals of the potash business remain very strong."
But RBC Capital Markets analyst Fai Lee reduced his share price target for Agrium from $145 to $105 last week to "reflect bear market conditions."
"While fertilizer stocks have traded down with the broad commodity stock sell-off, we expect sector valuations to eventually rebound albeit at a slower pace than the recent past," Lee wrote in a note to clients Friday.
But Lee also said RBC remains positive about Agrium's outlook.
"Agricultural and fertilizer fundamentals are still very strong with high crop prices, low grain inventories and high fertilizer prices. Fertilizer supply/demand fundamentals remain positive over the medium term."
Agrium announced Wednesday it would buy back five per cent of its shares and that there could be more repurchases to come.
"We believe the current price of our shares does not reflect Agrium's achievements nor our strong future prospects," said chief executive Mike Wilson.

Depending on your individual needs, you can choose between powerful petrol tillers, flexible tillers with Power X-Change battery power and classic electric tillers. Discover motor tillers from Einhell and become an enabler in your garden!
Einhell tiller guide
Whether it's a petrol motor tiller, an electric ground tiller or a cordless ground tiller, Einhell has the right type tiller for all of your garden projects. They're guaranteed to really loosen up your soil. Discover which motor tiller is right for you and your projects.
What to look out for when purchasing a ground tiller
The range of different tiller products on the market is huge. If you want to work a lot of garden area, then the petrol motor tiller is the right tool for you. For small to medium beds near the house, you should use an electric ground tiller. The battery-powered ground tiller is also perfect for small to medium-sized garden areas. In addition to their powerful motors, our tillers are equipped with many practical features and are comfortable to use. Features such as ergonomically shaped guide rails and safety switches also make your motor tiller the perfect and safe working tool. We have summarised some of the important features for you here.
Working depth and working width
When purchasing a motor tiller, make sure that they have sufficient working depth and working width. The larger the working width and working depth, the faster you can work through your garden.
A working width of 300 mm and a working depth of up to 200 mm should be more than enough for most projects.
The more power the motor tiller delivers, the harder ground you can work with it. Up to 2.5 kW, 1,500 W or 36 V of power makes it easy to work through most ground, even if it has been used to store heavy loads or been driven over by construction site equipment.
The steering bar should be ergonomically shaped and ideally height-adjustable so that it is comfortable to operate. Strong metal blades should also be provided so that you can easily manoeuvre through vegetable and flower beds. The variable depth adjustment of the spur also makes it easy to reach deeper layers of the garden soil without having to bend or stoop.
Large, stable transport wheels, a foldable guide bar and transport handles attached to the tool contribute to the flexibility of the ground tillers.
When making a purchase, always make sure that the tool is equipped with a blade guard and a blade stop. These safety measures prevent you from being hit by flying stones and mean you can operate the garden tool safely.

Agricultural tech day set to help KI farmers in bushfire recovery
A tech-focused agricultural event is set to highlight the cutting edge of tools and tech in the agricultural world, whilst also an opportunity for farmers to get together to discuss bushfire recovery
The Farming Tools & Tech Field Day, organised by the new KI Landscape Board and Agriculture Kangaroo Island (AGKI), will now have a focus on helping farms recover from bushfires whilst also providing an insight into what the future has in store for farming.
Presiding Member of the Kangaroo Island Landscape Board, Andrew Heinrich, says that this important event will help bring farming on KI into focus, both on how it will recover and how it will lead the way going forward.
“Farmers and their families have been disproportionately affected by the recent bushfires on KI, losing friends, homes, livestock, machinery, farm infrastructure and in some cases their entire livelihoods,” Mr Heinrich said.
“We and AGKI hope that this and our following events will help refocus the island’s agriculture and highlight how small advances in tools and tech available to farmers can help agriculture thrive into the future.”
Rick Morris, Chair of Agriculture KI, says that the island’s progressive farming community will get a lot out of what’s on offer at this field day.
“The field day will be a good opportunity for people to get off the farm for an afternoon and recharge the batteries,” Mr Morris said.
“There are a lot of good exhibitors lined up offering a mixture of farming solutions, cutting edge science but not out of reach.”
This major event is joined by many smaller events being planned by the new KI Landscape Board to help the island recover from the bushfires such as the up-coming Soil Health workshop with Nicole Masters on 18-20 March.
The three-day intensive workshop includes field visits and practical sessions to help develop deeper appreciation for what drives soil health and boost bottom line outcomes, especially relevant to help soil recover from the bushfires.
Major exhibitors in attendance at the Tools and Tech event to help support the island include the likes of Darren Ray (formerly of BOM) and Australian Wool Innovation Limited (AWI).
Tickets are $10 paid at the gate on the day
After working as a meteorologist and climatologist with the Bureau of Meteorology since 2002, Darren Ray is now working as a private consulting climatologist and long range forecaster.
The last few years have seen dry and hot conditions across Australia leading up to the extreme challenges of this summer. Darren will look at climate influences that impact Kangaroo Island and what this means for the outlook for the remainder of 2020. Along the way he will show useful tools for producers for keeping an eye on the weather and climate through the coming growing season.
Marius Cuming, Australian Wool Innovation Limited
AWI is pleased to be involved in this important day for KI, we will be there with the latest shed designs and infrastructure ideas, AWI will also have relevant materials depending on what woolgrowers are wanting to do across their businesses. AWI would be happy to talk through the design of new woolsheds as well as what AWI can offer through the SheepConnectSA network.

There are plenty.
That’s what I can say about how many used 12 row corn heads have been floating around in the used market the past few years. There are plenty and they are piling up even more. A quick check of the dealer equipment listings on MachineryPete.com found 819 John Deere 612C 12-row corn heads listed for sale as I write this.
But back in 2014 the average auction price on John Deere 612Cs fell 27.6%. Ouch. I saw the same trend with all colors of corn heads, and planters, and most other types of large, late-model, used equipment items back then. But in late 2015 through mid-2016 we’re finding footing with used values.
On a recent Ag Day TV show segment I also touched on another important factor helping solidify used values on 12 row corn heads so far this year. It’s the fact that we’re seeing fewer numbers hit the auction market:
And more farmers are searching for corn heads, right now. Comparing June search traffic at MachineryPete.com to May, corn head searches are up 53%.
Check out the accompanying data table showing recent auction sale prices on various makes and models of 12 row corn heads.
