WEAT Teucrium Wheat Fund

Many of the smartest minds in investing agree that the next big asset class to appreciate is Agriculture. The problem with this sector is there has not been an easy way for retail investors to participate without opening up a futures account.

Deutsche Bank and Powershares introduced the PowerShares DB Agricultural Fund (DBA) over three years ago and it has seen tremendous growth in assets and volume. This ETF holds a combination of different agricultural commodity futures, such as sugar, soybean, wheat and corn, which is good for diversification purposes but this ETF will never produce outsized returns, nor let an investor concentrate in one agricultural commodity.

Thus many investors have been asking a pure play agricultural commodity ETF that is based just on one commodity, such as sugar, wheat or corn.

Teucrium Trading LLC has done just this, it has recently introduced four pure play agricultural commodity ETF's that provide retail investors direct exposure to indivudial agricultural commodities without leverage or the need for a futures account.

They are the following: Teucrium Corn Fund (CORN), Teucrium Soybean Fund (SOYB), Teucrium Sugar Fund (CANE), and Teucrium Wheat Fund(WEAT). All four of these ETFs trade on the New York Stock Exchange and allow investors direct exposure to single agricultural commodities.

Below is a summary table of the expense ratio and assets for the above mentioned ETFs.

Exchange Traded Fund	Net Assets (millons)	Expense Ratio
Teucrium Corn Fund	$107.2	1.42%
Teucrium Soybean Fund	$2.33	1.53%
Teucrium Sugar Fund	$2.62	1.53%
Teucrium Wheaet Fund	$2.28	1.53%
