CNN’s business section took a deep dive into one of the oldest companies in the U.S.: Scotts Miracle-Gro (NYSE:SMG), which as we know has taken its own deep dive into the cannabis industry while keeping the rest of us supplied with what we need to keep our own spring gardens budding.
The 154-year-old company is headquartered in Marysville, Ohio, where Orlando M. Scott, after being discharged from the Union Army, began selling lawn seeds to individual homeowners in 1868. Scott's venture was based upon his firm conviction that "farmers need and shall have clean, weed-free fields."
