Company BackgroundCF Industries was founded in 1946 and was initially named Central Farmers Fertilizer Company. The company was founded so that farmers could buy fertilizer at a better price from their fellow farmers. The company would benefit from lower prices for fertilizers due to the large quantity purchased. The company fell on hard times during the 1960s and the only reason CF Industries did not go bankrupt was due to the commitment of the owners. Even though CF Industries was in financial trouble, they still found a way to purchase a new phosphate fertilizer plant in Plant City, Florida. During the 1970s, CF Industries began to turn around and during the recovery they changed the name of their company from Central Farmers to what it is. known today as CF Industries. During this decade, CF Industries created new businesses at its nitrogen complex in Donaldsonville and established a new nitrogen complex in Medicine Hat, Alberta. CF Industries did not slow down and continued to grow the best way it knew how, through its distribution capabilities. During the 1980s, activity slowed considerably due to an embargo on goods entering and leaving the USSR. This caused the market to drop drastically almost overnight. The only reason FC Industries has remained afloat is due to the drastic measures taken by the company. They cut expenses by closing mines and laying off employees, which allowed the company to stay afloat while the global economy was struggling due to the Cold War between the United States and the USSR. .
