IMC Global Inc., one of the world's biggest fertilizer companies, said yesterday that it would cut 850 jobs, or 9.7 percent of its work force, and take charges of $825 million in the fourth quarter as it tries to recover from a weak North American farm economy and lower phosphate prices. The company expects a charge of $6.81 a share in the quarter once a partner in joint ventures pays its part of the charges. The job cuts from IMC's 8,800 workers account for about half of the $70 million, or 40 cents a share, IMC expects to save annually. IMC, based in Northbrook, Ill., which had $2.7 billion in 1998 sales, warned last month that it would take a big fourth-quarter charge.
