| Ethanol, an additive to gasoline, is being promoted
to help lower America's dependence on foreign oil. Currently, ethanol
is produced from corn so many agricultural products companies may
benefit from the increased demand for ethanol.
The following table lists six stocks that produce ethanol and a
sampling of companies that produce products related to growing corn
including fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides and hybrid seeds.
The ethanol producer stocks are quite volatile so be sure to buy
them on the price upside.
