Dear Pat: Is Ag Growth International a good play on the agricultural sector? Instead of selling fertilizers, herbicides, or seeds, the company provides “picks and shovels” to the industry; i.e.: grain storage bins and conditioning equipment. That would seem a more steady, less volatile way of playing the sector. Also, the stock pays a nice dividend. Best regards.
