      abstract = {Retail fertilizer plants produce a number of products and  services. To analyze the relationship between cost and  output for these multiproduct firms, a shoit-run, translog  cost function is estimated using pooled data. Results  indicate plants can lower average cost by increasing output  and by diversifying into anhydrous ammonia. Furthermore,  preliminary evidence indicates that firms in the sample are  over-invested in plant and equipment.},
