Dew, Yes, Gladstone (LAND) looks like a better bet. It's already had a big move, but there aren't many passive vehicles available for investing in farmland.
Gladstone focuses mainly on fresh produce, which is more profitable than commodity crops like corn, wheat, soy, etc. I figure having some Gladstone could make sense as part of a broader strategy using agro related ETFs (MOO), individual stocks (DE), etc.
Btw, any thoughts on Zoetis? That has been a great long term stock, and the recent selloff has it in oversold territory.
