Way to potash intensive, mine it out and it is mighty expensive to replace now, don't replace it and you are giving up a lot of yield. Soils can only be mined for so long and then you got to pay them for what they have given you, or they refuse to work. A lot of cheapskates and stingey guys are paying the price. I belive we'll pay the price in the cornbelt as yields and fertilizer prices continue to rise, with no long term committements to cash rents and a lot of landlords who don't know any better or care. It has taken thousands of years of natural cycles of prairies to make these phenomenal soils we have and they have only been farmed real intesive for the last 60 years or so, and we already see a lot of the effects of our intensive mining processes.
