As an investor, what's the best way to buy "agriculture." Are there ETF's that give you broad exposure?

In addition to MOO you can check out DBA which is an ETF of commodities:

You could invest in commodities or in the things that farmer's buy when they're doing well. Ex: equipment, seeds, and fertilizers.

Finding a mutual fund with a heavy investment in these types of companies would be the safest bet. If you wanted to buy company stock, you could research Deere (DE), Caterpillar (CAT), Monsanto (MON), Potash (POT), Terra Nitrogen (TNH) or companies like that. But it's riskier.

Not a recommendation to buy, but look at symbol MOO.

ETFs and mutual funds.

not necessarily the best, but if you agree with Jim Rogers's take on agriculture, then look into RJA.

it follows Rogers's own Agricultural Index, but is not connected to him businesswise in any way.
