  • The Outlook for Potash Prices Has Taken a ‘
    The outlook for potash prices has taken a ‘cautiously’ optimistic turn Rio Tinto (‘Rio’, NYS: RIO) has decided to proceed with its plans to build a potash mine. The Australian Rio will work with its Canadian joint venture partner North Atlantic Potash company (an Acron Group subsidiary) to develop the Albany Project using solution mining. The Albany deposit is said to hold inferred resources of 1.4 billion tons at an average grade of 31% KCl with about 30% recoverability. Rio Tinto’s entry into the North American potash industry has added more pressure on what seems to be an already oversupplied sector. In 2013, BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) decided to build what will be the world’s largest potash mine; that project alone threatens to break the model preferred by CANPOTEX (the pricing consortium that includes PotashCorp, Agrium and Mosaic), which relies on regulating supply to sustain price rather than compete on the basis of lower prices. The CANPOTEX companies may become victims of their own pricing mechanism, having shown the world just what kind of high margins are possible in the potash market. It should be no surprise that the world’s mining giants have wanted to claim their own stake in the potash industry. Nevertheless, the added pressure and the dissolution of BPC, the Russian/Belarusian equivalent of CANPOTEX, have not done much harm to PotashCorp’s stock price. Indeed, shares of PotashCorp (NYSE: POT) have rebounded to the high USD$ 30’s and low 40’s in June, which is exactly what they were on the day before Belaruskali and Uralkali ended the BPC pricing mechanism on July 30, 2013.

  • Financing Your Farm Operation 13 Resource Kit for Nova Scotia Farmers
    Financing Your Farm Operation 13 Resource Kit for Nova Scotia Farmers Getting Money for Your New Farm Enterprise With any new farm venture, the importance of starting out with personal savings cannot be understated. Whether they’re used to completely finance a small farm business as a supplement to your day job, or to put a substantial down payment into a million-dollar farm purchase, those savings can make a big difference to the success of your operation. It is worth the wait to build your own farm start-up account. If you are starting a new business, set aside the personal cash you have available for your farm in a separate bank account called your “farm account.” Use this money judiciously for start-up expenses. When you earn income from the sale of farm goods, replenish this farm account and continue what you can afford for your farm. Chances are you will be inspired and creative with your purchasing knowing you have to stretch those dollars. (Note: enrolling in the AgriInvest program can help you grow those savings faster through government contributions. For more information, see Fact Sheet #17: Farm Risk Management.) Once your products have a clear demand and you are not able to keep up with sales, then it is time to consider a loan or financing to allow for more rapid expansion of the profitable aspects of your farm. If you reach the stage where you’re ready for a loan to expand your start-up or to purchase a farm as a going concern, you will need to present potential lenders with a solid business plan that exhibits a realistic strategy for paying it off (see Fact Sheet #14: Business Plans).
