John Burton grew up on a farm outside Humboldt, Saskatchewan (Burton Lake), studied at the University of Saskatchewan, the London School of Economics, and the University of Regina, was elected to Parliament, and played a major role in Saskatchewan's 1975 decision to acquire potash-producing facilities.

In May 2014, Burton and the University of Regina Press published the book Potash: An Inside Account Of Saskatchewan's Pink Gold, an insider account of the purchase of 40% of the potash industry of Saskatchewan in the 1970s by the NDP Government of Allan Blakeney. Burton died on December 9, 2022.[2][3]
