MPSC applauds USDA for developing new American-made fertiliser sources

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

Michigan Potash & Salt Company, LLC (MPSC) Founder and CEO Ted Pagano has recently issued a statement on the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) announcement of a plan to support innovative American-made fertiliser production to address our nation’s near-total dependence on foreign imports.

Ted stated, “In the face of a global food and fertiliser crisis, I applaud the USDA and Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack’s leadership in confronting our nation’s dependency on foreign fertiliser imports. Our farmers feed the world, yet they are wholly dependent on foreign sources of critical potash nutrients while domestic supplies are available right here at home. Michigan Potash stands ready to support American farmers by replacing one-to-one all the potash imported from Russia with domestic production from Michigan.”

The company is committed to developing the US Potash Project in a safe and responsible manner that protects Michigan’s critical natural environment and waters while supporting communities across Osceola and Mecosta counties, Michigan.
