Individual investors who don't count themselves among those wealthy enough to be so-called "qualified investors" have pretty limited options for playing the growth potential in agricultural commodities. Certainly there are now more commodity-specific ETFs than ever before, and investors can choose from among funds like Teucrium Corn (Nasdaq:CORN), the iPath DJ-UBS Livestock ETF (ARCA:COW) or more diversified options, like the Market Vectors Agribusiness ETF (ARCA:MOO).
Beyond that, though, it gets more difficult. There are a respectable number of fertilizer, seed, equipment and agribusiness stocks out there, like Potash (NYSE:POT), Tyson (NYSE:TSN) and Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE:ADM), but what about land? Farmland has been one of the best-performing asset categories in recent years, but there are almost no investment options for the individual investor. Argentina's Cresud (Nadsaq:CRESY) is one of the few exceptions. (For related reading, see 22 Ways To Fight Rising Food Prices.)
