| TOP PICK | 135.920 | David Burrows | 70% of every new dollar of income earned in India is being used to spend on food. This company has done a really good job of increasing agricultural yields. Working on drought resistant as well as moisture resistant corn, which will be important. | 2008-06-16 | |
| PARTIAL SELL | 114.020 | Norman Levine | Big seed, herbicide company. Vulnerable to a correction. | 2008-04-30 | |
| DON'T BUY | 119.270 | Brian Acker, CA | Nowadays it's all about agriculture and momentum, but his model price is $53.22. A -56% differential. Stories are compelling, but he buys mispriced assets and this one does not qualify. | 2008-02-27 | |
| Comment | 119.050 | Charles Bobrinskoy | A growth stock. It can do very well. Have gotten past people's concerns on biotech seeds so growth prospects are spectacular. He couldn't buy as it is not trading at a value that makes sense to him. | 2008-02-20 | |
| BUY | 110.500 | Paul Harris, CFA | Good company and well run. Agricultural industry has moved up because of a push from Asia. There is a growing need for agricultural products. This company has done very well over the last little while because of that and should continue to do well. | 2008-01-24 | |
| DON'T BUY | 120.630 | Peter Brieger | Trading at 44X trailing earnings and about 26 to 30 times earnings going forward. There is no question, it is a great company. If you see a pullback to $100-$110 you might want to take a partial position. | 2008-01-11 | |
| BUY | 63.470 | Norman Levine | Seeds, herbicides and pesticides. In the right place as part of the food chain. The largest and leading company in this sector. Prefers Syngenta (SYT-N). (See notes further on.) | 2007-08-15 | |
| VAGUE | 85.190 | David Burrows | Demand of agricultural products are attractive right now. Demand for engineered seeds and corn are growing internationally. Stock looks interesting. | 2006-02-27 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 55.070 | David Burrows | (A Top Pick Oct 15/04. Up 40%.) There has been a very strong trend in agro-company businesses. | 2005-01-12 | |
| TOP PICK | 39.220 | David Burrows | Does about 45% of their business outside of North America. There's very strong demand for agriculture products around the world. | 2004-10-25 | |
| TOP PICK | 35.420 | Richard Bernstien | Will really benefit if oil prices come down. | 2004-09-17 | |
