San Antonio-Organizers are expecting a record crowd at this year’s Southwestern Fertilizer Conference July 12-16 at San Antonio’s Marriott Rivercenter. “Based on pre-registration and rooms reserved, I believe our attendance will be around 1,400,” said Pat Miller, conference organizer. “And based upon market conditions, I wouldn’t be surprised to see 1,500. We had 120 suites reserved – the most we ever had before was 106. It’s gonna be a record breaker, that’s for sure.” Many players were telling Green Markets last week that they expected much business would be deferred past the July 4 holiday and to the Southwestern meeting, where players can go eye-to-eye over actual trades. Those who sign up late may find out they will have to walk a few blocks down the river walk to another hotel, as both the Marriott Rivercenter and the Marriott Riverwalk across the street have indicated that they are full.
