For many of the reasons already listed. They're a giant, private, agricultural company that's almost entirely in parts of the supply chain that consumers don't see (B2B), but almost certainly impacts most Americans (and many other parts of the world) every single day. They're also very low margin, and if you aren't working in farming areas, has a corporate headquarters in a place not too much tech happens in. There's almost no reason for it to ever show up here. However, if you were awake today and ate food, you probably encountered something Cargill had something to do with. They also purposely try to keep a relatively low profile. One of their very first consumer facing products was Truvia, which didn't come out until 2008, for a company founded in the 19th century.
