Q. has #AngloAmerican see the future of #farming?

The firm plans to invest around $9bn in #Yorkshire mine that produces an under-used #organic #fertilizer called #polyhalite.

It requires no processing & is less damaging to #soil, but remains largely untested at mass levels in a market where #potash is the dominant product.

This could be a enormous 'white elephant', or it could be a major shift in #farming and prompt an #extractiveindustry boom for Yorkshire.

Time will tell!

Meanwhile in #NorthYorkshire:
the Woodsmith mine project (drilling down to secure deposits of #polyhalite - a new mineral #fertilizer yet to be approved for commercial sale - continues to suck money in & take longer than #AngloAmerican (who rescued the project three years ago) expected... if you were hoping for a mining boom (with major #infrastructure construction) near #Teeside, you'll be waiting a little longer... although for those fearing its #environmental impact that may be a blessing!
