Australian weather has a positive outlook 8. Heated market with regards to Rail capacity diminishing - with the fall in oil prices (oil shipment by rail usage) 9. Canadian exchange rate / Canadian cost input regarding to exports to the US market and, Agrium is listed on the NYSE / trades in USD 10.
