Archer Daniels Midland is a company I have followed closely since 1974. I once bought a very, very large position for an institution where I was an analyst at $13 1/8 - just slightly below the company's bookvalue at the time. The shares were sold… More

A potential wheat shortage caused by the spread of stem rust overseas could be very bullish for ADM. Also, it doesn't look like ethanol mandates are going anywhere but up with the current administration, and that will continue to drive up corn prices.

My outperform on this stock is based upon market fundamentals and crop predictions as detailed below:

Various market forces are working together to weaken the US dollar abroad. A weaker dollar
means higher crop prices and higher oil prices (which further drive up the higher crop prices).

Increased overseas demand for crops is allowing companies such as ADM to profit
considerably thanks to price hedges.

My single biggest factor is the weather. Many of the farms in my area (including my own and many of my customers) have been unable to plant significant acreage due to heavy rains. The acreage that did get planted is experiencing uneven
growth and crop loss due to flooding and high moisture content. It is difficult to foresee a scenario where harvests meet projected goals this fall especially given the early expected frost date for 2009. Even a relatively small loss of 2-3%
would likely cause a significant spike in crop prices which would further benefit ADM.
