Grain farming is the main industry in Saskatchewan,
but other industries include
mining, meat processing, electricity production, and petroleum refining.
The main types of mining are potash, uranium and coal.
I think potash mines are actually quite pretty.
They sprout up in the middle of a farmer's field after kilometers of
flat land. And there are always big pink piles of rock beside
them.
Canada is the world's major producer of potash.
It is mainly used to make fertilizer.
