About Brazil Potash
Brazil Potash (NYSE-American: GRO) (www.brazilpotash.com) is developing the Autazes Project to supply sustainable fertilizers to one of the world's largest agricultural exporters. Brazil is critical for global food security as the country has amongst the highest amounts of fresh water, arable land, and an ideal climate for year-round crop growth, but it is vulnerable as it imported over 95% of its potash fertilizer in 2021, despite having what is anticipated to be one of the world's largest undeveloped potash basins in its own backyard. The potash produced will be transported primarily using low-cost river barges on an inland river system in partnership with Amaggi (www.amaggi.com.br), one of Brazil's largest farmers and logistical operators of agricultural products. With an initial planned annual potash production of up to 2.4 million tons per year, Brazil Potash's management believes it could potentially supply approximately 20% of the current potash demand in Brazil. Management anticipates 100% of Brazil Potash's production will be sold domestically to reduce Brazil's reliance on potash imports while concurrently mitigating approximately 1.4 million tons per year of GHG emissions.

Trump budget bill would kill subsidies that made home solar mainstream
By Nichola Groom (Reuters) -A last-minute tweak to the Republican budget bill passed by Congress last month would immediately end subsidies for solar leasing companies that help make rooftop systems affordable to homeowners, likely leading to a massive drop in the pace of installations, according to industry representatives. President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," now being taken up by the Republican-controlled Senate, would eliminate a 30% tax credit for solar leasing companies that charge homeowners a monthly fee for panels - one of numerous cuts directed at clean energy subsidies passed by former President Joe Biden. That provision, inserted shortly before the bill passed the House of Representatives on May 22, risks stifling a sector that buys American-made equipment, employs thousands of people and relieves strain on the grid, according to industry backers. "That's one of the harsher components of the one big, beautiful bill currently," said Gabe Rubio, a principal in the business incentives and tax credits practice at professional services firm BDO. Tax credits for homeowners who own their own rooftop systems would also be eliminated. The changes could result in as much as 40% less residential solar capacity being installed over the next five years, according to energy research firm Wood Mackenzie. Solar companies are lobbying the Senate to make changes to the bill before it becomes law. "America's home solar and storage industry is a powerful economic growth engine," Sunrun CEO Mary Powell said in a statement. "Senate Republicans now have an opportunity to advance the administration's energy independence agenda by amending this bill to keep American energy prices low and create well-paying U.S. manufacturing jobs." Trump campaigned on a promise to repeal the clean energy tax credits in Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, arguing they are expensive, unnecessary and harmful to business. Republican backers of the bill say the subsidy cuts would free up billions of dollars for other priorities. More than 5 million U.S. homes have solar panels, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. LAST MINUTE CHANGE An earlier version of the bill had protected the credit for leased solar systems, but fiscal hawks including Representative Chip Roy of Texas have said publicly that they pressed for deeper cuts to clean energy credits at the eleventh hour. Roy's office did not respond to a request for comment. Solar leasing was pioneered two decades ago by companies including Sunrun and SolarCity, which is now owned by Elon Musk's company Tesla, and quickly became the primary way home solar panels were financed. Under the model, solar installers partner with financiers that own the rooftop panels and offset their federal tax bills by claiming the credit. Homeowners either pay a monthly fixed fee to lease the equipment or pay for the electricity the system generates under a power purchase agreement (PPA). In what some analysts have said could be a loophole, the House bill directly references leased systems but does not mention PPAs. About 44% of residential systems sold today are under such arrangements, according to EnergySage, an online solar marketplace. Solar installers say undermining the subsidies could have a ripple effect on U.S. manufacturers that supply them. Freedom Forever, a top privately-held installer based in Temecula, California, said in two years it has gone from using no U.S.-made equipment to now sourcing 85% of it from American facilities. That is thanks to another IRA subsidy that provides bonus 10% tax credits for using American-made equipment. "The administration wants to bring manufacturing back to the United States, and that's what our industry has been doing for the last two to three years," Freedom Forever CEO Brett Bouchy said.

Two Wisconsinites top Forbes list of the richest self-made women in the U.S.
Three Wisconsin women have made Forbes' 2025 list of the 100 richest self-made women in the U.S., with two of them taking first and second place. Diane Hendricks, co-founder ABC Supply Co., topped the list for the eighth year in a row with a net worth of $22.3 billion. That's nearly three times more than the second-richest woman — Judy Faulkner, another Wisconsinite and co-founder of Epic Systems, who has amassed a net worth of $7.8 billion. Meanwhile, Pleasant Rowland, creator of the American Girl doll brand, came in 86th place with a net worth of $410 million. Here's what to know about each of the richest women in Wisconsin. Diane Hendricks, 78, is the co-founder of Beloit-based ABC Supply Co., the largest wholesale distributor of roofing supplies in North America and one of the largest distributors of siding and windows. Hendricks co-founded ABC Supply in 1982 with her late husband, Ken. She has been the chairwoman and sole owner since his death in 2007 and recently clinched the title of richest person in Wisconsin. On top of her business ventures, Hendricks has been a heavyweight donor to Republican campaigns and candidates for years. In 2016, President Donald Trump appointed her to his campaign's economic advisory team, and she donated more than $1 million to his 2020 re-election campaign. Leading up the 2024 election, Hendricks donated at least $15 million to Trump's Make America Great Again Inc., according to records from the Federal Election Commission, and spoke in support of Trump at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Hendricks grew up on a dairy farm in Osseo, a city south of Eau Claire with a population of just under 1,800. Today, she lives in Afton, which is between Beloit and Janesville. Faulkner, 81, is the founder and CEO of the medical-record software provider Epic Systems, which supports the medical records of more than 250 million patients, according to its website. Faulkner founded the health care software company in a Madison basement in 1979, according to Forbes. It's currently headquartered in Verona and valued at $4.7 billion, with Faulkner owning over 40% of it. In 2015, Faulkner signed the Giving Pledge, committing to eventually give 99% of her assets to a private charitable foundation. She has been a major donor to the Democratic Party and, in 2009, was appointed to then-President Barack Obama's Health IT Policy Committee. Rowland, 84, is the founder of Pleasant Company, which manufactured American girl dolls, books and accessories. She started the company in 1986 in Madison, inspired by her work as a teacher and textbook author to create dolls that represent different eras in American history, according to Forbes. In just over a decade, Rowland grew her initial investment of $1.2 million into $300 million in sales. She sold the company to Mattel in 1998 for $700 million. In 2024, Mattel announced it was closing the longtime American Girl headquarters in Middleton, a city just outside Madison. Most of the operation was moved to Mattel's headquarters in El Segundo, Calif. Rowland, meanwhile, has refocused on philanthropic efforts since selling the American Girl brand. In the 2000s, Rowland restored more than ten historic properties in the town of Aurora, New York, where she attended Wells College in the late 1950s and early 1960s. With her husband, she also made a $250 million donation to build Madison's Overture Center for the Arts.
