Real history
Around 1916–17 University of Nebraska scientists found a way to extract potash from Sandhills lakes, and with German imports cut off the price rose from about $8–10 to $150 a ton. Antioch got five reduction plants. When German and French potash returned to the U.S. market in 1921, the cheaper imports destroyed demand and the plants shut; the last Antioch plant closed that year (Wikipedia).
Sources differ: Wikipedia dates the extraction method to 1917, while History Nebraska's marker says large-scale production began in 1916 (History Nebraska).
