Cool, I've been in ND a few times. Mostly in dead of winter, but once in the fall when all the cottonwoods were golden. I'd like to go back sometime, probably not in winter.

I hear you on the commodities end.

If wacky weather continues (i see Manitoba is losing a lot of food production due to flooding and further west there is drought - lots of extremes) so lets say there's a bit of a surge in agricultural commodity prices . . which stocks would benefit? would it be ADM? the grain elevator companies? I could never figure out exactly who wins and who loses in the realm of public companies.

there should be an agricultural commodity fund that buys and holds grains, beans and corn and then sells over a certain fixed period - like CEF for gold and silver, but it would take more transactions (can't hold grains forever)
