| BUSINESS SEGMENTS |
BUSINESS SEGMENTS Our operations are organized into two segments: potash and Trio®. We determine reportable segments based on several factors including the types of products and services sold, production processes, markets served and the financial information available for our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). Our Chief Executive Officer is our CODM, who uses gross margin to evaluate segment performance. We do not allocate corporate selling and administrative expenses, nor other corporate expenses, to the respective segments. Total assets are not presented for each reportable segment as they are not reviewed by, nor otherwise regularly provided to, the CODM. Intersegment sales prices are market-based and are eliminated in consolidation. Other includes activities that are not attributable to our reportable segments. Information for each segment is provided in the tables that follow (in thousands).
