Good morning and welcome to the Intrepid Potash third quarter 2010 earnings conference call. At this time, all called-in participants are in a listen-only mode. Following the presentation we will conduct a question-and-answer session. (Operator Instructions). I would now like to remind everyone that this conference is being recorded today Thursday, November 4, 2010, at 8.am mountain time. It is my pleasure to turn the conference over to William Kent, Director of Investor Relations. Mr. Kent, please go ahead.

Good morning and thank you all for joining us today for our third quarter 2010 earnings conference call. I'd like to start by introducing today's participants from the company. We have with us today on the call Bob Jornayvaz, Executive Chairman of Board; Hugh Harvey, Executive Vice Chairman of Board; David Honeyfield, President and Chief Financial Officer; Martin Litt, Executive Vice President and General Counsel; R.L Moore, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales; and John Mansanti, Vice President of Operations. I would also like to remind everyone that statements made on this call which express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States securities laws. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. A number of assumptions which we believe are reasonable were made in connection with the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from our expectations. For more information with respect to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements, we directly from our news release issued last night and risk factors and management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and result of operation in our most recent annual report on Form 10-k, and the most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC. All forward-looking-statements are qualified in their entirety by such factors. Our earnings news release which is posted on our website Intrepidpotash.com, includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures including EBITDA which will be used on this call. All references to tons are to short tons of 2,000 pounds. I will now turn the call over to Bob Jornayvaz.

Thanks Will and thank you for everyone for joining our discussion about Intrepid’s third quarter 2010 results. The third quarter of 2010 was solid from both the demand and a market fundamental perspective. Dealers after the announcement of a number of summer incentive programs from our North American competitors began to buy for their own accounts in preparation for what has turned out to be one of the strongest fall demand periods in recent memory. A number of fundamental factors including healthy and greatly improved pharma incomes lower forecasted crop yields and overall strong prices in the agricultural sector have propelled product prices upward. During the quarter we earned $0.16 per diluted share on net income of 11.7 million. We generated $27.1 million in EBITDA and maintained our solid cash position exiting the quarter with a $126.5 million in cash and investments. The summer fill cycle did not begin in earnest until late July. At that time commodity prices specifically for corn were [hubbering] around $4 per bushel. And there seemed to be a mildly positive sentiment among distributors that fall products demand would be strong. As summer progressed, we saw that a number of factors come into play that have brought about a very bullish sentiment in the Ag sector, and specifically in the fertilizer market. The factors that I believe have brought us to this current point in the cycle include extremely low potash inventories at the dealer level. According to our customers, Canadian producers are 60 to 90 days behind on potash shipments which would indicate to us that their currently producing half or near full capacity. They announced a ban of Russian wheat exports that was followed by, not one but two forecasted corn yield downgrade by the USDA. In the last two months, prices for…

Thanks Bob, we produced 166,000 tons of Potash during the third quarter of 2010 which was in line with our operating expectations. This compares to 112,000 of potash produced in the third quarter of 2009. We also produced 320,000 tons of Trio during the third quarter of 2010. This compares to 600,000 tons produced in the third quarter of last year. The year-over-year decline in Trio production is mainly decreased availability of the Langbeinite plant and some lower relative Langbeinite grade associated with current mix store zones. Increased availability was due to the previously discussed decision to shut down our Langbeinite plant for a total 14 days. Due to unusually heavy rainfall, during the month of July. And also the schedule down time for the plant maintenance turn around. During our last call, we highlighted weather related issue. We believe we have taken the appropriate actions related to store modern litigation and process water haming. One of the main benefits of the Langbeinite recovery improvement project is that it will reduce process water usage at our Ace facility and is designed to resolve the water imbalance that we have experienced with this plant. Potash production during the third quarter was relatively stable compared to the second quarter of the year. The consistent level production is due increased production Carlsbad, Moab, largely offset by a normally scheduled milled bond at Moab during the summer evaporative season. The increase production at Carlsbad was a result increased tons and material mined and processed. As we realize the benefits completely meaning capital projects that we described at the time of the IPO. Additionally, we achieved our plant third quarter staffing levels for minors operators in Carlsbad. In addition to recent hires becoming more proficient in their new roles. Given that it takes time for…

Thank you, John. We sell 221,000 tons of potash during the third quarter of 2010. This compares 111,000 tons sold in the third quarter of 2009. We also sold 45,000 tons of Trio during the third quarter of 2010, compared to 40,000 tons of Trio sold in the third quarter of last year. As highlighted previously sales of potash in the quarter started out somewhat sluggish, but then picked up at a rapid pace as the agricultural markets improved and the demand for nutrients returned to a more normal seasonal level. As we maintained in our last call, we prepared for the expected call pick up and demand by building a modest amount of bringing your potash inventory. During the quarter we came close to fully depleting our granular inventory of potash except for turns that we set aside for our truck customers. We had a number of orders for rail shipments, have we booked before the recent price increases and it will take us through the better part of November to get these order shipped. As Bob mentioned we stopped accepting real orders in mid-October and we'll continue to do so until we caught up on shipments allowing us to make sure that we are positioned to benefit from the upward momentum in domestic potash pricing. Potash pricing is moved up in a healthy manner over the last eight weeks. We have raised the price of red granular potash in Carlsbad several times during this period with our most recent price increase to $485 per ton. Therefore, it will be Carlsbad for our red granular product effective this past Monday, November the 1st. We expect the impact of these price increases to be realized on an accelerating pace once we work through our backlog orders but not significantly until…

Thanks, R.L. I want to review a few items that I think are essential to understanding our quarterly results, as well as what we expect for the remainder of 2010. Once again during the third quarter we realized a higher net realized sales price as compared to our North American competitors. Our net realized sales price advantage over the other North American producers was $52 per ton in the third quarter. The average net realized sales price advantage is due to our geographic location, the corresponding transportation advantage that Intrepid enjoys and our overall marketing strategy. Further, we expect to realize the benefit of higher potash pricing sooner than our competitors because of our decision to stop taking new rail orders coupled with our ability to realize higher sales prices immediately because of our spot sales serving the truck market. John touched on the east maintenance underground and it's important to improve, the east maintenance turnaround, pardon me, and its importance to improving our operations at east. We had originally expected that the maintenance turnaround would be completed in the third quarter. However, because of the timing of certain equipment deliveries for the turnaround the schedule was shifted partially into the fourth quarter. Plant shutdowns such as this one generally result in a brief period of higher per ton costs as our fixed costs during maintenance turnarounds remain at least the same while maintenance expense increases and we simply are not producing tons during these brief periods. As we enter the fourth quarter it is important to consider the following: first, there is typically about a three month lag from the time we announce the posted price increase to the time we start fully realizing sales at a new pricing level. As we often have certain amount of product already…

(Operator Instructions). Your first question comes from the line of Vincent Andrews with Morgan Stanley.

Maybe you could touch on one of the things that we've been reading about is that there were still, you sort of help us understand, the imports that are coming into the US from Russia or other geographies, has that been playing a role over the last three or four months or is that dissipated now?

I think that is totally dissipated. If you were to read November 1st or the Monday morning green markets. There is some interesting comments in there that I am going to read very quickly as it relates to Potash. If they refer to Eastern Corn Belt, they say it is difficult to find any potash tons for sales for prompt delivery. To the Western Corn Belt, since another contact said Potash and MAP were not to be found. And so the Great Lake region it says but no tons were available for immediate shipment. What’s that telling us is, that the Potash pipeline is empty right now. Those imports have all through the system and are out on the field. And I guess one of things that we are most excited about is that the pipeline is truly empty.

And then I guess maybe as a follow-up to that. You talked about the channel building a little bit, pulled some tons from 4Q into 3Q and you feel good about that. But, do you think we're going to get back to a normal level of channel inventory over the next three to six months or is it going to be something shorter to that?

No I think what we think that we are going to try to get back there. But the point of the matter is that everyone is behind on shipments into an inventory that is empty. So it is going to take a long time to build up any inventory in the system. So I guess I would once again just reiterate that what we are seeing in the market place is an empty system with producers behind on shipments. So it is going to take us a while to feed that demand.

I guess my last question then, which is a natural follow-up, is where can pricing go given those circumstances? We've seen a lot of price moves in the last month or so, or last two months. But, when you talk to your customers, what do you think the appetite is for further price increases from here?

Vincent I guess I will just take you back to the fact that we are in a very, very strong agricultural market. And so there is very strong market across every crop that we can discuss, cotton, sugar, corn, soybean, wheat, rice. What's different about the previous major up cycle is that we have demand from virtually every crop across this spectrum. So the agricultural fundamentals couldn’t be set out in any better so to speak. The farmer has a great balance sheet, the farmer is making record income, the farmer is in great financial shape, he is paying a lot less for his diesel than he was paying before because the natural gas price strip is very flat, we don’t think he is going to see any kind of a significant nitrogen price spike. He is paying 30% to 40% of what he was paying in this period in 2007, 2008. So, I guess the table is set for just very, very strong fundamentals in our market. So, the market is going to be, what the market is going to be and right now the table is set for a very positive scenario.

Your next question comes from the line of Don Carson with Susquehanna.

I just want to talk a bit more about price. So you talk about getting $20 - $25 incremental price improvement in the fourth quarter. Where would you expect first quarter pricing to be? You think you can fully realize the $485 November 1st, price increase less the normal discounts or what's the relative timing? And I guess one other issue in terms of how high prices can go? It seemed back in 2008 that we found a level of price elasticity when potash prices got above nitrogen and phosphate. So, I am just wondering how high you think pricing can go this cycle compared to the last cycle?

Let me address your first question, in January we have not taken any orders for tons to be sold in January, so when we sell tons starting in December and January and even our truck markets that we are selling today we are selling at our current posted in price plus any applicable discounts for the trucks that pulled in all week long they paid at 45 less any applicable discounts so we anticipate in our truck markets though we were not anticipating we were already achieving. As we move forward, we’ll capture more and more of that as we finish off our limited backlog of orders we’ll begin to see that. The standard markets are little bit different. we are seeing that standard market has recovered very nicely, however there is more volume out there as some of the Canadians what we believe had excess inventory from the lack of standard shipments going in the China and India pushed into our very good strong standard markets from the drilling market perspective down in Texas. So we are lagging typically that standard market has had parity with the AG market, we believe it can get back there because of the strength of the market, but today we are not seeing parity, but I want to put that in perspective. We have $125 in price increase in our granular market in last 30 days, so its difficult that an industrial market would take a little bit of time to catch up. So we are hoping that in the relatively near future we can get those to parity which is where they have always been. As we didn’t go into 2011, as we tried to say in our comments, Intrepid is prepared to sell 2011 tons at 2011 prices, because the AG…

How much incremental volume do you think you'll have in 2011 versus 2010 with your capacity expansions?

Now I am going to let Dave speak to the specific numbers, but philosophically we have talked to everyone of our plant managers we had everyone in last week. And we are focused on producing every ton we can possibly produce at our facilities from a philosophical standpoint. And so with that, I am going to let Dave talk to some of the specifics and then possibly let John know what we are doing to just to ramp up and speed up some of those potential production increases.

Thanks Bob, Don I think the way that I would ask you to think about it is that we are just now getting back to the point of being really full capacity in our mining ships and our operating staff in the Carlsbad mine facilities. So I think what we see here in the fourth quarter will be pretty inductive of the short term, that means we will see increased tonnage on the production side relative to 2010 looking forward into 2011. We are still going through that budget cycle right now, so I am a little hesitant to start putting specific numbers on the table until we get through the mind planning all of the operational items but I think what I ask you to reflect back on is the commitment to things like the Moab compaction project recognizing the strength in the AG sector that we can bring some of those additional standard tons that we have in inventory no to market by giving them compacted, by focusing on compaction at our Carlsbad facilities. So, really those are the source of things that as we get into 2011 that it’s going to be full ahead to make sure that those things are coming online.

Your next question comes from the line of Mark Connelly with CLFA.

Bob, I wonder if you can comment about langbeinite pricing. You sound pretty bullish on the potash side and lots of people do. But given that you are on allocation already, I wonder if you could give us the sense of what you are seeing today in terms of your pricing power there? And then as you look towards the de-bottlenecking and the project being completed at the end of next year, do you have an early sense of what the supply demand balance is going to look like then?

Right now we are the highest priced producer of langbeinite in the United States. We think that there is increasing strength in that product, it’s a great product on the granular side and so as we mentioned we are on a allocation and that’s why the outlet project is so important to us and so I would think that whatever product’s prices do if they do continue their upward trend, that langbeinite has the opportunity to follow up on a proportionate basis, right now we are 246 for granular langbeinite we are on a allocation so any potential price moves up that we do see in the product market we think that the granular market can follow it up. One thing that’s great is that any standard inventory that we do wind up with after the outlet project is completed is that we will have the ability to take 100% of whatever standards we might have in inventory and turn it into a granular product so once again we just want to continue to emphasize why we are so focused on adding compaction around our different facilities. Does this answer your question?

I am just curious whether you need to do a lot of work to keep that market tied as this new projects comes in line for the end of 2011 or whether you think the market already --

It’s our impression and we ship for customers all around the world. One thing that we really pride ourselves is that we will now have focused on trying to grow that market in anticipation of bringing on capacity and we are saying if we had more product to sell we could sell it all around the world. Langbeinite is a wonderful, wonderful product. The only thing is that it is the granular product which is demand but we could sell a lot more we had it that’s why we are adding additional capacity as we described on previous calls our element project is the initial stage that takes us up. We’ve already directed our engineering staff to begin working on the third step-up stage which would allow us to produce even more langbeinite. So we are very bullish on the langbeinite market.

Your next question comes from the line of David Silver from Bank of America-Merrill Lynch.

Hey. I had a question may be a little bit of a twist on Dave Honeyfield's comments earlier about production potential for 2011 or next 12 months however you look at it. But, if I look back in your history, you've had a wide range of potash production levels as low as 0.5 million tons and well into the 800,000s. And given the upgrades and everything, I am going to ask you may be take another crack at it. But is a number in the mid 800,000s for next year production or the next 12 months is something like that, something we could think about and given that you guys are so confident that you can sell any ton you can make? I mean is 850,000 tons kind of a ball park number for what you think is achievable?

The like I said before we really are in the middle of the budget and forecast cycle right now. So think it is a little early for us to put that number on the table. We are going through our mind planning which looks at what specific mind panels are we going to be mining from what the grade is from a one specific panel versus another and the thing that is I would ask you stay focused on is that we understand where the market opportunities are around brining product to market in a very strong price environment and we are going to do everything we can to get all that product out there that we possible can. So, intend to sound evasive, I just want to make sure that when we get numbers out the street that we feel very confident and you are right, we have seen variability in our production numbers. I would say that majority of that has been very intentional on peaks and on troughs where we have seen strong demand back in the '07, '08 period, we work hard to focus our efforts to make sure we brought product to market and then we saw a slow down in the '08, '09 period we slowed things down. So, I know that doesn’t answer your question spot on but I will try to give you a sense of how we think about running the operations.

I was asking you to simplify something that's very hard to simplify. So, okay, couple other questions for Dave. Do you have a preliminary number for 2011 capital spending?

Directionally I would say that, we kind of said what could that $125 million level plus or minus a little bit. IF you look at 2011, we have the continuation of the langbeinite recovery project. The bulk of that CapEx will be in 2011, we anticipate getting permitting on the HB project as in the fourth quarter of 2011 and we will start construction immediately there, we have a level of sustaining CapEx that will be part of the budget we have the compaction work that we intend to put into place in our Carlsbad facilities that will bring into the 2011 plan. So I think directionally that gives you a good feel for where we are at.

And when I look at the cash flow statements for nine months, I would like to ask about the deferred tax number. I guess, your income tax accrual for the first nine months was around $18 million, but your deferred tax benefit was actually $19 million. And, I am just trying to figure out, I mean, that's a little bit higher, you do have some ongoing benefits from your deferred tax asset but it's a little bit higher run rate. Is that tied to some discrete tax event or should we expect you to get that tax saving benefit at about that rate that you have experienced this year?

I will answer the question in the way I hope is most helpful to the majority of folks what we saw right at the end of the third quarter was the extension of bonus depreciation for all of 2010 they were signed in the law and if you think of all the CapEx projects that we put into service this year what that means is that we are going to get a very significant benefit from that so an answer to your question it was a fairly discreet event but what we did and we see that in the cash flow numbers and you would also see it in our break out of current and deferred taxes is we really don’t expect to have any current or cash taxes to speak up here in 2010 so we still -- all that really good strengths put into in the deferred tax at that point in times so right now if you look at what percentage of our tax rate relates to tax taxes its almost nil as we go into 2011 we are back to a normal depreciation environment for tax law so we need to keep an eye on that and we will keep sure we will keep the market updated.

Thanks. And last question, I agree with Bob's comments that it's really hard to find any soft spots in the agricultural or crop outlook. I'm just wondering if you are noticing any reduction or any pressures on the customers you have there by potash for animal feed. So, maybe that's one of the areas where higher crop prices aren't an unmixed blessing. But for that portion of your business can you tell us what the trends seem to be?

We are not seeing any real price deterioration there, I guess the one thing I would direct you to look at is the cattle heard size compared to '07 in LA and looking at it historically. If you look at the heard size it is really at a point that we believe it can’t go whole lot lower. So I do think that it is little bit different this time when we herd size and little bit on the port side I can’t speak to the poultry side. We don’t think that as feed prices move up that we are going to see as much deterioration which is generally caused by herd liquidation. So we are not seeing it now we are seeing a because that is a great market there are always competitors that would like price of our market share. So its, it is a great market and we believe we will continue to be a market because we provide all the testing that they require and the type of handling that they require to sell in the feed market it is different than just selling flat bulk products. So there is a handling requirement we met all those needs. So we are not seeing any softening now. I want to, I might to say that we might not see some. But once again that is we are selling 10 one building as compassion equipment as we can throughout entire system to provide the incredible market flexibility.

Your next question comes from the line of Fai Lee with RBC Capital Markets.

Just had a couple of quick questions. The first is with respect to the CapEx budget for 2010 of $110 million to $120 million. It looks like you spent about almost $58 million year-to-date and you are going to spend another, I guess, $11 million to $13 million on the compaction project as well as $17 million to $22 million on the langbeinite recovery. There currently is about $25 million left. Is there anything specific to the remaining $25 million? Is that number of small projects or is there anything larger tied to that number?

I'll give you a couple of overview items. And John, if I leave anything out, please hop in. we have got a number of projects in the queue, we have talked about our distributor control system a fair amount of that work will be taken place here, timing a delivery of items could potentially swing that fourth quarter number if some equipment comes in maybe for the lang project in the very first part of 2011 and I think some of the other big projects. Warehousing project that we continue to rap up in our Carlsbad area is also decent size portion of that, we certainly look at that number price similar to you and say that that’s a pretty big spend number to the fourth quarter and we are aware of it that its pretty much on the pace that we thought it would be. John, are there other things in this?

In addition we are looking at, there was some minors and some shale cars, some equipment to that in each year for the underground development that we had in the ‘11 budget and this bonus depreciation gives us the opportunity to pull some of those investments forward. So we are seeing some goals there as well.

And you mentioned a discount between standard and granular and standard was lagging. What sort of discount are you seeing currently at this time?

Well just once again to give you the perspective the standard AG pricing has gone up to $125 in roughly a month. And so, we are seeing less than that in the standard pricing what’s our current FOB posted price for standard at Carlsbad.

Carlsbad our rate standard is that you posted for us is 480 and the lot standard I think is around 482…

But I want to make it clear we are not achieving those prices and so we are going out for our customers and I think we’ll get them up there, but what we are seeing $50 to $75 lag in the month of October and I would expect that in November as well, but those prices we believe can get back to parity which is where they have generally been

Okay. That's why I'm confused because I guess some of the fertilizer trade publications are reporting your list price, and they are showing about $5 kind of difference and whereas it's probably on a realized basis it sounds like its more significant than that?

Yes it is definitely more significant just want to take people directionally that we have always been able to get it to generally parity that has been times for our industrial pricing has exceeded our AG price, but those markets are little bit different today because there is a little bit volume in those markets so I jus think we are trying to put everyone on notice that there is a lag right now but as has occurred in the past those markets have gotten back to parity.

Anything that we are selling into the AG market as we go forward we will bring this new AG processing. Its strictly the industrial market right now that’s slightly behind on the standard.

And once again to give you more clarity we are seeing great drilling activity and in Texas, in Oklahoma, in Louisiana. So the drilling activity has really picked up there with some of the Shale plays there is more volume in those markets. When we look at our Rocky Mountain standard play because of the price of natural gas we are not seeing as much drilling in Piceance basin and in the Western Region of the Rocky Mountain that’s why Moab we are creating the ability to compact a 100% of our product. So that we don’t have to have any reliance with whatsoever on that industrial market. We can just produce the right amount tons market.

Your next question comes from the line of Robert (inaudible) with Goldman Sachs.

Hey good morning everyone it is Lindsay Druckerman filling it for Bob. I just wanted to take a bit deeper some of issues you highlighted in standards of, first maybe you could just help a better understand what the issues were in places like India and China where the big orders that we are expected didn’t come in.

Well what we believe we all have try and buy as much product last year and China buys standard products and so we know that the Canadian producers as you produce Potash you produce a certain amount of standard and a certain amount contraction in your normal production cycle. So standard did not get shift to those countries, they saw an outlet and they sought an outlet in our very strong industrial market they exist down in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana and so historically we haven’t seen as such standard product from the Canadians in those markets since we have been in business. So, that's our theory, that’s what it just appears to be, I don’t know if that answers your question or not.

So, I guess following on that given the bullish outlook for pricing that all producers are endorsing, why do you think they're not holding on to those inventories and waiting for better momentum particularly to those end markets?

That’s a better question to address to them.

Okay. And is this product that they would be able to convert into granular if they had the capacity to do so?

Not necessarily. That’s the difference, because sometimes you don’t have for example that our Moab facility, when you build a plant, you generally don’t build a 100% compaction capacity. So, its our understanding that several of those plants don’t have the ability to compact a 100% of that product, that’s why we are trying to take everyone of our plans to as higher percentage of capacity with compaction as we can. So that you can always have that market flexibility to go into either market. So, what's again, I think that that’s a question better directed at them.

And just lastly, curious if you saw any implication to your business from the news out of the Canadian government today on BHP potash?

Potash Corp. has done a great job of running their company and we never really understood how BHP wanted to run Potash Corp. if they were going to get it. So because of the uncertainty as to how they may or may not have chosen to run it we think it’s a great that Potash Corp. will continue to have it and run it and as value creating fashion as they have done and there is no longer as of today there is not as much on certainty as to what BHP may or may not have done, what their strategy was

Your next question comes from Charles Neivert with Dahlman Rose

One just quick question is, what is in your normal course of any quarter, how much of your business is done through truck and how much is done generally through rail?

Probably Carlsbad is probably 70% rail and 30% truck

Okay

Our retail operations I would say are probably pretty close to around 50-50

Your next question comes from Farooq Hamed with Barclays Capital.

Just a quick question I had on your costs in Q3. I saw that they were down roughly about $40 per ton from your Q2 cost. And I was just wondering how much of that is due to the fact that you had better efficiencies in Carlsbad, and how much is due to a production mix with more Moab product potentially being in those tons?

Farooq this is Dave its really a combination of those two product mix was not as big was not as big of a peak as maybe it was in prior quarters what we relays aw though was very, very strong pulls on granular product all throughout the Intrepid system and as we have mentioned before we have been contacting more product out of Moab than we have that we have historically so we had more to sell there so its been one of the pieces, its driven cost and the other part as exactly what you touched on that as we’ve gotten our folks stab back up and as we brought operations in Carl stat. Carl Stat back to old staffing, we also seen the benefit of the per unit cost come down a little bit. So I wouldn’t again keep in mind what is happening here in the fourth quarter if you trying to model quarter to quarter. I think the important part is that we are focused on cost we are getting them down to where we think they need to be. And directionally there are headed in the right place here. The other specific question that they try to answer to.

Okay. So maybe just a follow-up on that. Because in the call you noted that Q4 costs will be higher, and can I agree with you that longer term it looks like you were in the right direction, but you said Q4 costs are going to be higher than Q3. Is that, I mean because we are seeing that same efficiency, so is that just due to the turnaround at East being extending into Q4, or is that also because you don't get as much lower-cost production in the quarter?

The majority of it the turn around maintenance and that was a pretty significant turn around for us. We really had not done one in two years at our East plant because we were that was the facility that because of the Trio demand that we ran all through 2009. So we didn’t off a lot of work there and you are going to see some pretty high maintenance dollars come through the system. So your going to see a little bit of a bump here in the fourth quarter. But again I would just say that is just a bump. It is not indicative of any trends, I think your starting to see that the way the trends are going to shake out now.

Okay. And then last question, on your inventory heading into Q4, so your Q3 production was significantly lower than your Q3 sales level. I am just wondering, heading into Q4, what's the inventory that you have, what the level look like or are you basically out and so whatever you sell in the quarter will be whatever you can produce?

We are pretty tight particularly on granular inventory. I don’t expect that we are going to build any inventory through the en d of the year, we have commitments like we touched on, we are still shipping some product, it was priced before some of the price moves and that will take us through November and we have helped back some product for truck tons, but demand is pretty good relative to what production capacity is so I wouldn’t see it building much inventory really into the spring side from what Bob has already touched on and that’s we really haven't taken any orders to speak of at these higher prices for real because we want to make sure we are participating in that. So, what that tells us is we are going to be pretty much selling the product we produce at current spot pricing.

And then the inventory that you have had heading into Q3, you've had it into Q4?

Again it was pretty tight and I think you hits the nail on the head there, I think our production ton, our sales tons were about 50,000 tons more than our sales, our production tons were.

There are no further questions at this time.

As noted I don’t see any other questions in the queue so we would like to thank everyone for joining today's call and taking the time to learn more about Intrepid. Have a good day.

This does conclude today's conference. You may now disconnect.
