BUY

The drop in commodity prices has hurt agricultural stocks, because farmers lack the money to buy irrigation equipment. But it remains a long-term buy and he's been adding shares. LNN's equipment is very good.

HOLD

Water irrigation equipment. Commodity prices are low, so farmers aren't buying systems. Satellite technology makes targeted irrigation cheaper. Road infrastructure business fairly stable. Capped costs. Earnings margins have gone up, so cashflow can be allocated to a higher dividend, R&D, and tuck-in acquisitions.

Serial acquirers tend to do better than the indices over a 10-20 year time horizon, and that's his focus.

BUY

Pivot irrigation, which is the hardware component. The software component provides data analytics for crop moisture, alerts for leaks, etc. Very much domestic US sales, so will benefit from the America First policies.
