Restructuring Charge [Abstract]
RESTRUCTURING CHARGE	RESTRUCTURING CHARGE In January 2014, in response to declining potash prices and completion of our major capital projects, we undertook a number of cost saving actions that were intended to better align our cost structure with the business environment. These initiatives included the elimination of approximately 7% of the workforce, reduction in the use of outside professionals, and cutbacks in other general and administrative areas. In early 2014, we also temporarily decreased executive and senior management compensation; we reinstated most executive and senior management salaries in mid-2014 and reinstated other compensation elements in 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized a restructuring expense of $1.8 million, which is comprised primarily of severance-related payments.
