Very impressive info nugget at the NY Times (via The Big Picture) on how much fertilizer is being used around the world…? (or more specifically, the growth of said fertilizer use…)

The amount of fertilizer is amazing, especially considering the recent run-ups in supply/demand issues with various foods.? The dead zones are also something to consider in long-term thinking…

As mentioned, Mosaic (MOS) and Potash (POT) would be big beneficiaries of the fertilizer growth, as would companies like Agrium (AGU) and the like.
