Dahlman Rose downgraded Agrium (NYSE: AGU) from Buy to Hold.

Analyst, Charles Neivert, said, "We are closing our bullish near-term call on fertilizer shares and turning cautious on the industry. The upside in the 2013/2014 crop has largely played out and drought conditions introduce a multitude of downside risks which outweigh the rewards in our view, especially if ethanol comes into the mix."

The firm also downgrades Potash (NYSE: POT) and Rentech Nitrogen Partners (NYSE: RNF) this morning.
