Subject: No, profit killer. Margin is better than average.


If they can buy cheap RU for 10 and sell it for 12 that is 17%. A real good return in the chemical business.

Problem for them is that the gal of RU they just sold goes over 4 acs so the return per ac. is 50 cents. The old days as we say, the chems were 30 bucks per ac. and the margin was 7 to 10 percent. If we use 10 because it is easy that left a return of a little over 3 bucks per ac.

Lots of retail closings in this area last of 06. The return per ac will not support the current dealer load.
