“In the face of a global food and fertilizer crisis, I applaud the USDA and Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack’s leadership in confronting our nation’s dependency on foreign fertilizer imports.

Michigan Potash stands ready to support American farmers by replacing one-to-one all the potash imported from Russia with domestic production from Michigan.”
