The news release is quoted as saying:
Saskatchewan was expecting C$1.9 billion ($1.8 billion) in potash revenue when it set its 2009-10 budget in March, but slashed that estimate to C$637.6 million in mid-August. Now it expects to take in just C$109 million, its lowest revenue from the fertilizer in 13 years.
