90% of #US #Potash consumption must be imported!

A whopping 77%(!) of all imported potash (for fertilizers, etc.) comes from #Canada.

Another 17% comes from the Kremlin (former USSR)!

@saltphoenix @BroGle demand and prices for #seed up. #Fertilizer prices through the roof. Limit planting to conservation planting, rotate #cattle through on most marginal #land. Grow #soil health this year and Improve herd #health. Cull marginal cattle with health and genetic issues early this year before #avianflu and economic s**t hits big mid year. Cattle prices high now.
