ADM handles grain processing and transport; higher diesel raises its own costs but could lift crop prices and revenues, so the two forces roughly cancel.
ADM runs grain storage, processing and logistics. Higher diesel raises ADM's transport and processing costs but could lift crop prices that increase revenue. Those opposing forces look to cancel, so I read this as neutral.
CF sells fertilizer and other inputs; higher fuel costs can squeeze farmers' cash and reduce demand for inputs, though rising crop prices could partly support demand.
Corteva sells seeds and crop protection; higher crop prices could support farmer spending on those products even as fuel costs rise.
Deere makes tractors and combines; higher fuel costs can pressure farmers' cash and potentially reduce equipment purchases, which directly affects Deere's sales.
Nutrien sells fertilizer; higher crop prices could support fertilizer demand and revenues, even as fuel costs raise growers' expenses.
DBA tracks agricultural futures rather than owning companies, so rising commodity prices tied to higher energy costs should benefit this fund's holdings.
