Q: Do you have any recommendations for Agricultural ETS's for income? (10 year hold)
Q: I currently own COW at 1% weight and AFN at 2.5% weight. Would you suggest to top up the 2 stocks or would be okay to buy AGU to make the total sector weight up to 5%.The other thought was to sell COW and buy AGU.
Thanks
Thanks
Q: Cheers
Are there any ETFs that can be used for agricultural commodity futures? Or what do you think would be the best way to take advantage of rising agricultural commodity prices directly.
Thanks.

Q: Hello, I am reading there may be increased money flow back into agriculture, besides these two etfs, do you recommend any Canadian etfs/stocks that may provide similar exposure. Would it be better to stick with these with the added benefit of a possibly strengthening US dollar?
Q: 5-I team
What recommendations do you have regarding investing in the agricultural sector? This can be in the form of any individual stocks I could do research on, ETFs or any other type of vehicle you could recommend for a conservative investor who wants diversification. This could be in Canada, the USA or elsewhere.
Many thanks
Paul
