Food and water investments weather drought
BY MarketWatch — 12:01 AM ET 07/20/2012
CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Record heat, dry skies, and acres of drought-stricken corn is stressing farmers and cereal makers, but commodities and natural resource investors are cool and composed.
Weather has caused a "supply shock" that observers say only reinforces a longer-term investing theme in the scarcity of food and water.
A hungry and thirsty world is growing, and "you can't triple a population in a lifetime without consequences," said Jeremy Grantham, a closely followed value investor and co-founder of asset management firm GMO LLC., in a speech at the Morningstar Investor Conference in June.
The situation is equal parts opportunity and clock-ticking pressure to devise new ways to use and produce finite resources and their alternatives, and to grow food on dwindling arable land. Agriculture demand will continue to spur innovative irrigation techniques and to address the need for fresh drinking water in developing countries. And therein lies another potential investment -- water solutions.
For now, the focus is on supply. June was the fourth-hottest month in the U.S. since 1880, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) and July has been toasty too. The heat and drought prompted officials to cut harvest expectations. USDA's July 11 report featured a 12% drop in the outlook for domestic corn output, crossing out predictions for a record harvest. The U.S. soybean crop, which pollinates later than corn, is on track to be the smallest in four years. Global wheat production estimates are down 1% from a June prediction.
Stalks and stocks
Grain futures prices and shares of broad-based commodities funds are at multi-month highs in response. A proxy for the agriculture sector, exchange-traded PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund ETF is up 14% in just the past month, prompting some chart-watchers to warn that this double-digit spurt looks stretched.
Agriculture-related stocks have been a mixed bag. Price incentives and expectations for crop yield catch-up boosted spring planting, and fertilizer shares may find support as field conditions are sorted out in coming weeks. Shares of fertilizer-makers Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. (POT) and Mosaic Co. (MOS) , for example, have been rising along with grain futures prices. Monsanto Co. (MON) , meanwhile, could benefit from sales of its drought-tolerant seeds.
But the drought's impact on the farm economy could hit equipment makers such as Deere & Co. (DE) . Food processors such as Archer Daniels Midland Co. (ADM) face higher raw input prices that could trim profit margins.
Weather fluctuates and markets jump. Certainly, the global reach of crop production can't be dismissed. Drought in one region simply means higher prices and increased planting incentive for growers elsewhere. But the U.S. is the biggest producer of corn and soybeans and the largest shipper of grain. About 60% of the contiguous United States was officially in drought, or roughly 3.1 million square miles, according to NOAA's July 10 release. The heat wave was breaking slightly for much of the country and spotty thunderstorms did move in across parts of the Midwest late this week.
"The weather hit at a time of falling grain reserves, resulting in a tight stocks-to-use ratio -- an impact that can stick around across seasons," said Abraham Bailin, who follows commodity exchange-traded funds at investment researcher Morningstar Inc.
So, how do investors turn a grain shortfall into a potential portfolio windfall?
Bailin pays attention to PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund ETF for its diversification across commodities. He cites the fund's ability to take the guesswork out of managing the price fluctuations across the futures-markets calendar, including contango, an inverse relationship where current spot prices are higher than forward prices.
Bailin recommended United States Commodity Index Fund (USCI) for its relative stability and diversification. He also points to a suite of indexes from SummerHaven Index Management, including SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Index Total Return .
Investors with higher risk-tolerance can dig into focused ETFs, including Teucrium Corn Fund (CORN) and Teucrium Soybean Fund (SOYB). Read more: Corn fund is ETF of the week.
Not a drop to drink
For some investors, feeding the world is really about water.
"You can't even start a discussion about water conservation without talking about agriculture first," said Kent Croft of Croft Leominster, Inc., portfolio manager of the Croft Value Fund. "There's a lot of room to become more efficient in water if the right push is there."
Available fresh water is less than half of 1% of the Earth's total water. And some 70% of fresh water goes to agricultural production, according to United Nations water division statistics. You can think about it in these terms: It takes seven pounds of feed to produce one pound of beef and 155 gallons of water to produce one pound of wheat.
Croft's water-related investments include Valmont Industries Inc. (VMI). Irrigation equipment was 39% of the company's 2011 operating income. (Other income comes from another population-growth theme: upgrades and maintenance to U.S. and international electricity grids.)
Water infrastructure is another area of interest, both for new construction in developing regions and repairs for crumbling pipes in the developed world. Croft points to Xylem Inc. (XYL) , which tests water, repairs systems and sells valves, pumps and dispensers -- all key to getting water to farmland, factories, and homes.
Other stocks to consider, although not part of Croft's holdings: pump-maker Flowserve Corp. (FLS) and irrigation and machinery company Lindsay Corp. (LNN).
ETF investors can wade into a pool of water offerings: Guggenheim S&P Global Water Index ; First Trust ISE Water Index ; PowerShares Water Resource Portfolio and PowerShares Global Water Portfolio (PIO).
Lands of opportunity
Farming is becoming more factory-like with huge corporations managing land, but the reality is that agriculture needs fresh labor, according to commodities investor Jim Rogers. He's reinforced that view in recent television and magazine interviews.
Rogers is bullish on one of the purest of agricultural plays -- land. But if that's a bit ambitious, there are other investment routes, including shares of land management companies. Adecoagro S.A. (AGRO) , for instance, is a Luxembourg-based company that owns significant farmland holdings in South America.
Noted GMO's Grantham: "The developed world will have to behave sensibly, but of course they will behave casually, with lots of waste, and that will push the price (of resources) up faster than it need rise because we (developed world) can afford it, at the expense of the developing world."
His bottom line: "Think favorably about resource funds."

INSIGHT-US farmers hit paydirt with irrigation in arid spring
BY Reuters— 7:00 AM ET 06/22/2012
* Irrigation equipment sales hit record highs
* Farmers scramble to get wells dug amid drought fears
* Economics of crop irrigation pay off for some growers
By P.J. Huffstutter
MILL CREEK, Indiana, June 22 (Reuters) - Bouncing down a county back road, squinting as a blazing sun intensifies one of the hottest, driest Midwest springs ever, farmer Dale Tuholski steers his pick-up truck between fortune and failure.
To his left, new irrigation machinery sprays a fine mist across his corn field in northern Indiana, where emerald green plants sway in the breeze. To his right is a neighbor's land: the soil dry and dusty, the corn leaves curled.
Amid the warmest first five months of the year since 1894 in the U.S. heartland, a rapidly expanding minority of farmers like the Tuholskis and Kyle Clute - who manages 25,000 acres (1 0,000 hectares) 100 miles (16 0 km) sou thwest of Tuholski's farm - are taking out an expensive hedge against increasingly volatile weather: buying new irrigation equipment for their corn or soybean fields.
"We don't want Mother Nature to control our destiny anymore," said Clute, who farms corn and soybean fields in Warren County, Indiana.
The potent mix of ever-warmer weather and expectations of near-record farm income of $92 billion for 2012 is fueling all-time-high sales of such equipment, with revenues up a third or more at leading firms. Center-pivot irrigators are particularly popular with farmers in water-strapped areas because the machinery can extend the reach of limited natural resources.
While many farmers are merely upgrading aging equipment, manufacturers say that a sizeable share is now being sold to growers who have never before irrigated. In Indiana, the number of registered new wells is growing at the fastest rate in two decades; drilling firms are struggling to keep up with demand.
As the trend grows, the implications will spread.
In a year like this one, for instance, even small shifts in the amount of acreage that is mechanically irrigated could help mitigate yield losses. For analysts and grain traders, such shifts could complicate efforts to forecast production outcomes based on weather conditions.
It may also intensify the growing friction over water use as expanding populations, bumper crop harvests, ethanol production and even the boom in hydraulic fracturing consume ever-larger volumes of the country's finite water supply.
While the amount of water needed for traditional dryland crop fields is likely to remain small, environmentalists caution that a new, and potentially large, consumer group tapping into the nation's groundwater supply could have untold consequences.
CORN BELT EYES WATER
About 94 percent of the nation's four major commodity crops - corn, soybeans, wheat and cotton - is grown on farmland that relies on rain for moisture, according to the most recent federal data from 2008. About 61 percent of that land is in the western half of the country, in states including Nebraska, California, Idaho and Kansas.
To the east, the land's fertility and natural weather patterns have typically been enough to produce a crop using only rain. In other cases, running a mechanized irrigation system simply didn't make economic sense.
For many farmers like Clute, increasingly efficient technology not only helps their operations, it also offers a tax deduction on farm income after several years of near-record grain prices and healthy profits.
The boom in agricultural land values and rents also has them looking to such machinery as a way to boost revenues - through bigger yields - from the soil they already own.
Farmers in the wheat-growing Plains states understand this dynamic well: The value of irrigated land has surged far faster than non-irrigated land since last summer, when a drought gripped much of the region.
In the first quarter of this year, the value of irrigated Plains farmland jumped 31.8 percent, outpacing rain-dependent farms, which rose by 24.7 percent from a year earlier, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. It was by far the widest disparity in growth rates since at least 1980.
NEW CUSTOMERS FUEL BOOMING BUSINESS
The mounting global anxiety over strained water resources is well known, as is the impact of increasingly erratic and extreme weather conditions.
Earlier this month, Israeli scientist Daniel Hillel - who pioneered a new way to apply water in small, steady amounts directly to plant roots in arid regions - was named the winner of the 2012 World Food Prize and honored at the U.S. State Department.
But the response to these trends by U.S. commodity farmers - responsible for producing about a third of the world's corn and soybeans - is only now becoming apparent. While biotechnology companies race to develop more drought-resistant strains, farmers are investing capital.
Valmont Industries Inc (VMI), a leading U.S. manufacturer of center-pivot and linear irrigation equipment, reported a 30 percent jump in global sales of irrigation equipment and parts to $196.3 million in the first quarter. Rival Lindsay Corp (LNN) said U.S. irrigation revenues surged 39 percent in the six months to Feb. 29.
At T-L Irrigation Co in Hastings, Nebraska, a privately held farm irrigation equipment maker, sales last year were the highest in its 57-year history.
The company is recruiting new dealers to meet rising demand in the central and eastern portions of the Corn Belt, a region that made up only about 5 percent of its sales a decade ago, said David Thom, T-L Irrigation's vice president of sales. Now, dryland farms in the area are about 15 percent.
"They're family farmers who might have 1,000 acres," Thom said. "They'll start with one or two and that's good, because they like to walk before they run. Then, they'll buy more."
The Tuholskis fit this mold. The family bought their first irrigation equipment in 1980, during the last agricultural boom. Slowly, the family expanded: The seven center-pivot irrigation machines they bought this past year bring their total to 40.
"We can farm less acreage and have more income potential," said Tuholski, whose family farms corn, soybeans, seed corn and other specialty crops. "And we don't have to worry quite so much about the weather."
WISHING MORE WELLS
As farmer demand grows, so does the waiting list for well-drillers in drought-prone areas.
In Indiana, the fifth-largest corn-producing state, the number of new irrigation wells was up 6.2 percent from the end of 2009 through May 2012, according to data compiled by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources' water division. That increase, the sharpest jump since the early 1990s, was driven in part by farmers rushing to plant more corn acres as U.S. prices hit record highs, state agency officials say.
In Taylor, Missouri, the staff of Landmark Irrigation Corp has been booked solid since last fall with orders for new irrigation wells to be dug on farms in Illinois, Missouri and Iowa. Many of Landmark's clients are buying equipment for farms that have never been irrigated, co-owner Deb Sutter said.
Most of the calls have been from producers who farm at least 1,000 acres, she said. But as the rains have waned, smaller operators have started to call too. For most of Illinois, much of Missouri and large stretches of central and east-central Iowa, the rainfall of the past three months is 25 to 50 percent below normal.

Valmont Reports Third Quarter Results
Wednesday October 17, 5:30 pm ET
Third Quarter Highlights:
* Net sales rose 20%.
* Operating income rose 30% and was 10.1% of net sales.
* Net earnings increased 72%.
* Effective tax rate was 22.1% due to the expiration of certain tax contingencies, other tax benefits and the mix of international sales.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Valmont Industries, Inc. (NYSE: VMI - News), a leading global manufacturer of engineered support structures for infrastructure, mechanized irrigation equipment for agriculture, and a provider of coating services and tubular products, reported third quarter sales of $372.0 million compared with $310.9 million for the same period of 2006. Net earnings for the third quarter were $25.9 million, or 99 cents per diluted share, versus third quarter 2006 net earnings of $15.1 million, or 58 cents per diluted share. Included in the results for the third quarter of 2006 were a $0.7 million after-tax gain from the sale of property and a $2.1 million after-tax charge at a non-consolidated subsidiary. The most significant reason for a lower effective tax rate was approximately $1.4 million in income tax benefits related to activities in prior tax years that were recognized during the quarter.

For the first nine months of 2007, sales were $1,115.0 million versus $953.3 million in 2006. Valmont's nine month net earnings were $71.6 million, or $2.74 per diluted share, compared with 2006 nine month net earnings of $45.4 million, or $1.76 per diluted share.
Third Quarter Review:
"Very strong market conditions in our four biggest segments drove a 20% increase in sales," said Mogens C. Bay, Valmont's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
"Strength in the global agricultural economy driven by higher crop prices led to increased demand in our Irrigation Segment.
"As the utility industry continues to invest in the transmission grid, Utility Support Structure Segment sales increased.
"In the Engineered Support Structures Segment, growing global infrastructure development drove sales gains.
"Gains in Coatings and Tubing Segment sales reflect strong domestic demand and increased volumes.
"The effective tax rate of 22.1% resulted from the expiration of certain tax contingencies and a favorable mix of international earnings.
"Favorable markets and our continued focus on improving performance led to operating income as a percent of sales of 10.1% versus 9.3% in the third quarter of 2006."
Third Quarter Summary -- Infrastructure Markets: (71% of 3rd Quarter Net Sales)
Engineered Support Structures Segment (42% of 3rd Quarter Net Sales)
Structures and specialty structures for lighting and traffic, wireless communication and overhead signs, worldwide. Includes utility support structures outside of North America.
Sales were $164.8 million, an increase of 24% over last year's $133.3 million third quarter level. The increase in sales was due to strong demand for utility and wireless communication structures in China and increased infrastructure spending in Europe. In North America, lighting product sales to lighting fixture manufacturers increased as well as specialty structure sales. Sales to the transportation market were slightly lower in North America, reflecting slower highway funding for municipalities and departments of transportation.
Segment operating income increased 15% to $16.7 million and was 10.1% of segment sales. The improvement in operating profit was largely due to the strong performance in Europe and China.
Utility Support Structures Segment (20% of 3rd Quarter Net Sales)
Steel and concrete structures for electric power delivery in North America.
Sales increased 19% to $79.1 million compared with $66.3 million in 2006. The improvement in sales reflects increased investment by utility companies in transmission and distribution structures for electrical power delivery.
Greater investments in the transmission and distribution grid should lead to a more reliable network, and are supported by provisions in the 2005 energy bill that created incentives for utilities to upgrade the transmission and distribution grid.
Operating income increased 50% to $10.0 million and was 12.7% of segment sales. The increase was mostly due to operating leverage on higher volumes and a more favorable pricing environment.
Coatings Segment (9% of 3rd Quarter Net Sales)
Hot-dip galvanizing and other coatings services to protect against corrosion of steel and aluminum in North American markets.
Sales of $34.3 million were 15% above last year's $29.9 million. Improved conditions in the industrial economy and strong internal demand drove the sales increase. Steel fabricators and structure manufacturers continue to recognize that hot-dip galvanizing is a cost effective method to extend service life and protect steel structures exposed to the elements from corrosion.
Segment operating income rose to $6.1 million, an increase of 3% and was 17.8% of segment sales due to manufacturing leverage on increased unit volume. Included in the results for the third quarter of 2006 was a $1.1 million gain on the sale of property.
Third Quarter Summary -- Agricultural Markets: (28% of 3rd Quarter Net Sales)
Irrigation Segment (22% of 3rd Quarter Net Sales)
Center pivot and linear move mechanized irrigation equipment and related service parts for agriculture in global markets.
Sales improved 25% to $84.8 million compared with $67.8 million in 2006. North American sales were supported by historically strong crop prices and grower expectations for an improved agricultural economy. Additionally, increased usage of irrigation equipment during the hot growing season resulted in greater sales of replacement parts.
International sales increased in most markets for mechanized irrigation equipment. Reduced global grain stocks have led to a tightening of supplies, resulting in higher crop prices. Higher global grain prices and an increased emphasis on the efficient use of water for irrigation are the primary drivers for growth in agricultural markets worldwide.
Segment operating income increased 59% to $8.9 million and was 10.4% of segment sales. The improved operating income resulted from the increased volume and related operating leverage.
Tubing Segment (6% of 3rd Quarter Net Sales)
Custom steel tubing for mechanical and structural applications.
Sales were 5% higher at $24.1 million. Demand continued strong from agricultural equipment manufacturers, driven by the increased need for grain handling and storage in anticipation of a large harvest season.
Segment operating income increased 13% to $4.3 million as a result of higher volumes and a favorable sales mix, and was 17.9% of segment sales.
Fourth Quarter Outlook:
Commenting on the outlook for the fourth quarter, Mr. Bay said, "We are expecting favorable comparisons in sales, operating income and earnings per share for the fourth quarter. Our businesses continue to perform well, market conditions are favorable and the long term drivers are supportive."
