Terra Industries says it will idle production at its Donaldsonville ammonia plant beginning Wednesday because of weak demand. The company says it will restart production once market conditions improve. This is the second time this year the plant has idled; the facility re-opened in March after a nearly three-month-long shutdown. About 30 people work at the plant. Terra is the target of a hostile takeover bid from CF Holdings, which also has a plant in Donaldsonville.
