SouthState, Applied Industrial Technologies, and Apollo Global Management 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 farming and related activities—such as crop cultivation, livestock, seeds, fertilizers, farm machinery and food processing. By investing in these equities, investors gain exposure to the global food supply chain, commodity‐price dynamics and seasonal weather patterns. While they can act as a partial hedge against inflation (since demand for food is relatively inelastic), they also carry risks from climate events, regulatory shifts and market volatility. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Agriculture stocks within the last several days.
