One never knows but some large conglomerate or would be conglomerate might try to take over adm. It might seem counter intuitive but cash rich big oil might want to diversify, although there are huge bargains in the oil patch for them to grow reserve life probably their main goal. We see some big oil getting into ethanol like refiner vlo and bp, but if i were the head of a big oil and were allowed i just might consider buying adm they would get both diversification and ethanol and probably some industrial platform chemical potential from bio means. imho oil (energy) and agriculture are the biggest growth areas going into the future.
