On CAPS, 96% of the 1,211 members who have rated Terra believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include toshimelonhead and All-Star TMFTheDoctor, who is ranked in the top 20% of our community.

Earlier this month, toshimelonhead touched on the unfortunate tailwinds working in Terra's favor:

China is experiencing its worst drought in 50 years. Europe is having its worst in 44 years. 45 percent of the US winter wheat is in poor or very poor condition. Time to buy agriculture stocks.

Currently, Terra even sports a cheapish P/E of 8.4. That represents a clear discount to industry peers like Monsanto (NYSE: MON) (29.2), PotashCorp (NYSE: POT) (23.2), and Syngenta (NYSE: SYT) (22.2).

CAPS All-Star TMFTheDoctor expands on the Terra outperform argument:

I am generally bullish on agriculture in general due to widely known and discussed factors like population growth and emerging markets increasing demand while things like climate change, urban sprawl, and water shortages reduce supply. Fertilizer is a good way to play this thesis, and nitrogen in particular has an advantage as it gets washed away in the rain and needs to be reapplied often. TNH doesn't particularly stand out from its peers in any glaring way -- it's hard to when you're basically selling the same commodities as everyone else -- but it will benefit from the broader thesis and the high dividend makes it very attractive. While the dividend isn't fixed, it's averaged about 8% over the last five years. TNH has a very high payout ratio but only because it is an MLP attached to a larger company, so TNH is able to basically pay out all almost all of its income.
