Mosaic Workshops Scheduled - DeSoto County
Read more here Upcoming Mosaic workshops are scheduled for July 27 and October 18. Call 662-469-8000 for time and location. Mosaic owns around 23,000 acres of farmland in DeSoto County. The company wants 14,000 of those acres rezoned to allow mining. The workshops are part of a 2019 dispute settlement between the county and Mosaic, after county commissioners denied the rezoning in 2018. They are set to continue through 2023, when Mosaic plans to resubmit its rezoning request to DeSoto commissioners. ![]() Robin Hagan of RHPhotoAdventures will be your guide at a wide variety of diverse and interesting destinations in 2022.
