Commodity Stocks / ETFs (Food)

[JFN111]

With the increase of strange weather patterns effecting the planet, as of late, what are good stocks or ETFs to get into as a hedge against rising food costs?
One ETF I have been looking at is FUD. The concerning part is its close to a 52 week high and I don't know how much upside is left.
I would like to hear other thoughts about investing in the Agriculture sector.

I am also starting to look for investments in foods and agriculture. I own Vitasoy International Holdings (0345.HK), very good growth & diversified products. It may correct from the high here but I think will continue its climb over long term. Same with Chine Blue (3983.HK), a China fertilizer company. Also on pink sheets in the US, but I know I saw a fund that held it as one investment. Market Vectors Agribusiness ETF (MOO) I am thinking would be a good hedge-provides equipment and fertilizers, etc. that will be needed to replant even after climate disasters. The CRB Commodity Index is at a high AND at the end of a 60-year cycle, so there may be a sizable correction, so I'm waiting a bit to get into anything more. I will be researching more and will try to add more reply tomorrow. MacDonalds and Nestle are steady growth stocks. Just found Guggenheim China Small Cap ETF that is a play of China industrial growth, also holds some food & ag http://www.guggenheimfunds.com/etf/fund/hao/holdings ...but I'm still waiting for the buy signal on this, also correcting down lately.

I've been contemplating this for a couple months myself.

Droughts in Russia, floods in Australia.... should mean a wheat shortage, driving up prices later this year

Plenty of farmers here in the mid-west are going to be chasing the high price on corn this coming year, which means something is going to lag. What it is, not sure. Jim Rogers keeps saying it'll be rice.....
