The intensity of winter weather, both around Kansas City and nationally has put a strain on the supply of salt available to cities both near and far. Under the rich soil of Kansas there are hundreds of miles of salt veins where many cities get their salt. On today's Central Standard we'll take you down to one mine to the front lines of a national salt shortage playing out in our backyard.
