Cargill Profit Plunges 68% on Lower Fertilizer Demand
14.04.09
By Choy Leng Yeong
April 14 (Bloomberg) -- Cargill Inc., the largest privately
held U.S. company, said fiscal third-quarter profit plunged
68 percent because of lower demand for fertilizers.
Net income dropped to $326 million in the three months
through February from a record $1.03 billion in the same period
a year earlier, Minnetonka, Minnesota-based Cargill said today
in a statement.
Cargill, which distributes and processes grains, said it
has cut discretionary capital spending and cut its debt as the
recession reduces demand for food. Corn, soybean and wheat
prices declined from records last year, decreasing farmers’
incentive to buy crop nutrients from the company’s 64 percent-
owned Mosaic Co. fertilizer unit.
“Many businesses experienced weaker demand and lower sales
volumes, as well as fewer trading opportunities as markets
fluctuated within narrower ranges,” Cargill said in the
statement.
Plymouth, Minnesota-based Mosaic, North America’s second-
largest fertilizer maker, said on April 7 that profit plunged
89 percent to $58.8 million, or 13 cents a share, as farmers
delayed purchases of phosphate and potash crop nutrients.
Are there any good flea markets in Minnesota? Esp in the Twin Cities area? And open in the winter?

I want to find a GOOD flea market in Minnesota, preferably relatively near the Twin Cities and open in the winter. Anybody know of any?
Don't know what you are looking for---to buy or sell or just to find a great deal for your own collection.
Unfortunately, no open flea markets during the winter.
Hennepin County's largest outdoor flea market is located is just 20 minutes away from West Minneapolis when you take the Highway 55. They open in mid May and close in early September.
This flea market is free admission, free parking with concessions and easy access.
A lot of vendor spaces are offered from tens to hundreds.
Due to increase in production cost, each stall now cost around 20$. No reservation required!
Better bet for finding stuff are all the thrift stores in the Twin Cities. Can always find a deal!
Happy hunting!

Which of the following is NOT a determinant of demand in the market for canoes in Minnesota?
The population of Minnesota.
The average income of Minnesota residents.
The number of sellers of canoes in Minnesota.
The price of canoe paddles in Minnesota.
Consumer tastes for canoeing in Minnesota.
Number of seller of canoes.
The number of seller would only affect the supply curve and not the demand curve.

is it a buyers market in minnesota, indiana. How do you determine what the market is? Is it area specific?
Jun 30, 2006 by q a | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
IF you could explain the process I would appreciate it.
Here is an article I wrote about today's buyers market:
2006 Year of the Buyer!!
Lets start with some facts from year 2005. Last year, we had a strong economy and we also enjoyed very low interest rates. Interest rates were the lowest in 2003, even though they have been creeping up each year gradually, the combination of low interest rates and strong economy fueled the housing boom; which seemed to have ended in 2005.
For 2006, seller’s need to keep in mind that the party is over. If you were holding onto your property in 2005, hoping to make more money in 2006, I got news for you: “You missed the boat.” But there are many things you can do still to enjoy the profits from the sale of your home like fixing up your home, replace that old carpet, repaint the house, etc, etc.
I hope my readers (sellers) don’t think that I am trying to put them into panic mode. I am just trying to make you understand that in most areas you cannot hope to sell you home for the same price you could have sold in the middle of 2005. Prices have dipped a little and they are taking longer to sell but we still have a healthy normal market, which is where we really needed to be. Last couple of years were not normal markets, it was mainly a seller’s market but it got out of control in some areas of the country where they saw too much appreciation for their own good.
I am NOT telling you that the market “bubble” is going to burst but it is definitely deflating and this my friends, will give buyers a very good chance to get a good deal on a home.
Purchasing a home is an excellent investment, the Government subsidizes it, we still have low interest rates and over all Real Estate is the best investment you can ever make in your life.
If your are currently thinking but have not yet decided to buy a home, you should know that by the end of the year interest rates will be close to 7%, therefore you need to be very well prepared and do your homework early.
If you are currently thinking bout selling your home, understand your local market and do the fix ups and repairs needed to entice homebuyers and remember that buyers don want to spend more money on a home after they bought it.
