Fortune projected that fertilizer company Mosaic would benefit from the high cost of crops, specifically corn. Increased commodity prices have meant that farmers are planting more, and need more of Mosaic's products.
Mosaic is still poised to capitalize off of high corn prices, according to an analyst report from Canaccord Genuity. Potash in particular, which is Mosaic's main product, will continue to be in high demand.
But Mosaic is also battling a lawsuit against the Sierra Club over South Fort Meade, one of its main potash mines in Florida. Losing access to the mine could mean a serious financial hit to the company.
