DUNCANVILLE, Texas,
Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- "The
U.S.D.A. forecasts U.S. farmer's net income rose to a record
$100.9 billion in 2011, up nearly 30
percent from 2010, reaffirming the bright spot agriculture
represents in an otherwise stagnant global economy" according to
Joseph R. Dancy, Adjunct Professor
of Law at Southern Methodist University
and manager of the LSGI Venture Fund L.P.
Dancy named Art's Way Manufacturing (NASDAQ: ARTW) as their
"Best Investment Idea" for 2012 for the Dick Davis Investment
Newsletter. Art's Way manufactures niche farm equipment in
Iowa and also custom designs,
manufactures, delivers, and installs modular laboratories and
research facilities. "Farm equipment sales correlates very closely
with net farm income" according to Dancy, "and farm income has
rocketed upward with grain prices."
Due to global demand growth Dancy sees continued opportunities
in the agricultural sector. Other companies Dancy finds attractive
include agricultural equipment retailer Titan Machinery Inc.
(NASDAQ: TITN) and specialty agricultural chemical manufacturer
Balchem Corporation (NASDAQ: BCPC).
The Creighton University Mainstreet
Report's farm equipment index indicates sales have been expanding
for 21 straight months, and Dancy notes "farm equipment is flying
out of the showroom." He adds "I can't think of a better sector for
long term investors at this point."
Separately, in partnership with LSGI Advisors Inc., the
Michigan Technological University
School of Business and Economics announced last week that former
Applied Portfolio Management Program student and current MBA
student, Wei He, is the 2012 LSGI
Mentoring Scholarship winner.
