From Seeking Alpha:
Here is our special report comparing two very popular fertilizer investments: Terra Nitrogen (TNH), formerly a subsidiary of Terra Industries but now controlled by CF Industries, and the recent upstart, CVR Partners, (UAN), which is controlled by CVR Energy.

Both TNH and CVR produce nitrogen fertilizers, own just one plant complex each and both are on the Verdegris River within 60 miles of each other, across Lake Oologah.
