Deere & Company, Apollo Global Management, and Norfolk Southern are the three Agriculture stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Agriculture stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose core businesses involve the production, processing, or support of agricultural commodities—ranging from crop cultivation and livestock farming to fertilizer manufacturers and farm‐equipment producers. By investing in these equities, shareholders gain exposure to the broader agricultural sector, whose performance is influenced by factors like weather patterns, global demand for food, commodity prices and government subsidies. Because agriculture is essential and often inflation‐sensitive, these stocks can play a role in portfolio diversification. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Agriculture stocks within the last several days.
