[AT] Winter storm and cold

[charlie hill]

Yeah Ralph the outfit that is here is Phosphate company of Sask.
They laid off about 100 before Christmas and the word is that PCS the 
is laying off everyone and the buyer is rehiring the ones they want. 

I don't know that it is true.  Came from a fellow that works there though.

Fertilizer industry in Sask. has really cut back this fall with a lot of 
layoffs. Guess they over estimated the demand for potash, which Sask. 
has a lot of. Good news for us as the price of dry fertilizer has 
dropped a little I hear. Not as much as grain prices unfortunately.
