Potassium-rich ore is brought to the surface, crushed and separated to produce potash for agricultural and industrial use. Leather strips are cut, decorated and fitted with clasps to create bracelets; harvested wild rice is dried, parched and hulled; and steel rods are formed into hexagonal profiles, bent into an L shape and heat-treated to make hex keys.
