Making Things Grow

From its uncertain, visionary beginnings in 1948 as the world's first farmer-owned nitrogen fertilizer plant, Mississippi Chemical Corporation has grown from a struggling enterprise in Yazoo City, Mississippi, to become a successful publicly-traded corporation with plants, partners, and markets around the world. In it's first fifty years, the story of Mississippi Chemical has encompassed many of the most vital and dramatic aspects of the evolving American South before the larger nation and world. This volume not only recounts the story of one business enterprise with its roster of colorful, courageous, and resourceful individuals. It also provides a unique perspective on the changing agricultural, economic, and social landscape of the South and the nation in the second half of the twentieth century.
