Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan is often considered one of the best dividend stocks in the fertilizer industry. The company pays out a major portion of its free cash flow to shareholders, has paid a dividend every quarter since 1990, and yields more than 6% at current prices.

There are bigger and better reasons to opt for Mosaic, some of which may surprise you. Take a look at the following slideshow to learn more.
