I cannot quite understand why it has not done even better (than being up about 20%).

I'm also very disappointed in DBA...don't understand its mediocre return against the backdrop of a furious bull in at least half of its components.

I've had phenomenal returns with individual food-related stocks. Over the past year:

SWPOF: 75% (wheat...got this one from Jim Rogers on a Fox stockpicker show several yrs ago)
RSGUF: 40% with dividends (sugar)
POT: 110% (fertilizer)
BG: 120%
Missed out on Monsanto.

I've become quite suspicious of Powershares in general.....strictly anecdotal but they've always underperformed for me.
