Congratulations to Intrepid Potash’s Mine Rescue Team. August 11-15, 2024, the National Mine Rescue Competition was held in Lexington, KY. In the Mine Rescue field event, Intrepid Potash was third place in the Nation for Metal/Non-Metal Mines. The top three teams were separated by a mere five points. The National contest is held every other year and draws the best of the best from around the United States. Additionally, there are about a dozen Regional Mine Rescue Competitions that are held each year. In June of this year, the Southwestern Regional was held in Carlsbad with five local teams and teams traveling from Tennessee and Missouri. Intrepid Potash was the first place finisher with a perfect score of zero discounts on the field event. Intrepid’s team is made up of a group of volunteer employees.

By Rhonda Jones Aww, it is that time of year again. We survived the holidays and are now dealing with the aftermath of too much eating, drinking, and lack of exercise due to scheduling, weather, etc.
