"A Saskatoon commodity analyst says a large number of farmers planting corn for the ethanol market could put a strain on the fertilizer supply for Prairie farmers this spring.
Larry Weber says farmers are planting record amounts of corn, which has created an unprecedented demand for fertilizer.
That could result in a shortage in Western Canada, he said.
"It's going to be very difficult, if you haven't already purchased fertilizer yet, going forward, to buy fertilizer," Weber said." LINK
