Second, to improve the fertilizer delivery system, the GOI will deliver fertilizer by truck into remote areas, establishing what are known as roadheads, to ensure fertilizer availability and to alleviate current fertilizer shipping pressures on the railroads. In addition, in areas where availability is a problem, input fertilizer distribution centers may be established for storage and retail purposes. A forthcoming GOI study will assess local warehousing needs and any further action regarding these centers. Alternative transportation incentives for fertilizer dealers are also being weighed. Third, the GOI will continue its efforts to promote the use of fertilizer in remote areas. These efforts will include block demonstrations involving a number
