I am going to make a lot more money in agriculture than I am in gold
Inventories in food are the lowest they’ve been in 50 years
Farmers cannot produce anymore
There’s a shortage of tractors, tractor tires, seed, fertilizer
All the farmers in the world are old men
There’s a shortage of farmers now
All the stockbrokers who’re about to lose their jobs…better learn how to drive a tractor because that’s the future!

Agriculture is one of the few places I know which is going to be one of the growth industries of next 20 or 30 years. The fundamentals get better and better.

Agriculture is the place to be [for investing].
Even though sugar hit a 28 year high [this year], it is still 70% below where it was in 1974. How can that be too expensive?
