Calgary-based Agrium Inc. told Green Markets today that there has been no impact to its operations from the flooding in Alberta. The only potential impact would be some delays of Canpotex potash shipments to the West Coast due to mudslides over railway tracks.
In Western Canada, an Agrium spokesman said “rain makes grain" as well as bugs and disease so it should be a net positive for farmers. Agrium said while some flooded acreage that had been seeded and fertilized will be lost; overall this will be very small amount of land.
