USA imports 90 % of its Potash from Canada.

80 % of potash production is controlled by Canpotex, an exporting and marketing firm in Canada.

As an essential nutrient for plant growth, potash is a vital link in the global food supply chain. And the demands on that supply chain are intensifying; while cultivated land area will remain almost static, the global population will be close to 10 billion by 2050.

Sounds like a good time for switching to regenerative practices that reduces or eliminates the needs for added fertilizers. It can be done at scale, it's just not as easy the first years getting things setup but the reduction in fertilizers over the years more than outweighs the startup.
