Crop Nutrient Price Index/Crop Price Index Ratio
Ratio
Average
Our homemade Plant Nutrient Affordability metric is a ratio of a plant nutrient price index and a crop price index.  The plant nutrient price index
is a weighted average of indices for urea, DAP and MOP prices.  These indices are calculated using weekly published spot prices at key U.S.
pricing points.  Weights are N, P, and K percentages of total U.S. nutrient use from 2005 to 2007.  The crop price index is a weighted average
of indices for corn, soybeans and wheat.  These indices are calculated using the daily closing price of the front month futures contract.  Weights
are the shares of total U.S. production of these three crops from 2005 to 2007.  The base year for all indices is 2005.

First quarter highlights:
Gross margins were impacted by increased brine management expenses, longer shut-downs
and higher depreciation, partially offset by mark-to-market gains on derivatives.
Brine management costs were $28M higher than last year’s quarter, reflecting higher
expenses related to advanced technologies, such as horizontal drilling.

First quarter highlights:
Sales volumes impacted by limited inventory availability and transportation logistics related to
Mississippi river water levels.
Margins reflect lower rock costs due to startup of South Fort Meade, lower ammonia costs;
offset by lower concentrate operating rates and a higher mix of lower margin blend products.
South Fort Meade is fully operational; expect to start shipping rock across the Gulf to
our Louisiana facilities.
