MOS

Mosaic Co

One of the world's largest makers of crop nutrients, Mosaic mines potash and phosphate and turns them into the fertilizers farmers spread on fields to grow food. Born in 2004 when IMC Global merged with Cargill's crop-nutrition division, its name reflects how the two companies' pieces came together into a single whole. A fun detail: its roots stretch back to 1909, and it later lent its name to Mosaic Stadium, the home of Saskatchewan's CFL football team.
