Investing in the Food Chain

This is a great article on each of the different stocks involved in the food chain. It goes from agricultural equipment manufacturers to seeds and fertilizers to farm products and biofuels to fresh produce companies. This article covers the front end (or growing end) of the product.

The three categories of the food investment chain described so far
represent the front end of the the chain, which happens to be the fastest
growing segment of the chain. Fast growth often brings opportunities for
outsized gains, but can also carry the possibility for tremendous risk, if the
"wrong" stock within a sector is selected.
