- Teucrium Agricultural Fund (TAGS) is an exchange-traded fund sponsored by Teucrium Trading, LLC that provides investors with diversified exposure to four core agricultural commodities, including corn, wheat, soybeans, and sugar, through a fund-of-funds structure. The fund invests equally across the Teucrium Corn Fund (CORN), Teucrium Wheat Fund (WEAT), Teucrium Soybean Fund (SOYB), and Teucrium Sugar Fund (CANE), each of which holds futures contracts across multiple expiration months to mitigate the effects of backwardation and contango; it rebalances daily to maintain approximately 25% allocation to each underlying fund, offering a cost-effective alternative to direct futures trading without requiring a futures account. TAGS, a series of the Teucrium Commodity Trust, is regulated as a commodity pool by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, issues a K-1 tax form, and typically qualifies for Section 1256 tax treatment with 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gains regardless of holding period. Launched on March 28, 2012, and listed on the NYSE Arca, TAGS is headquartered in Burlington, Vermont, through its sponsor Teucrium Trading, LLC, and targets investors seeking unleveraged, passive exposure to major agricultural futures markets for diversification, inflation hedging, or directional bets on global crop prices. The fund operates primarily in U.S. markets but provides indirect access to international agricultural supply chains influencing corn, wheat, soybeans, and sugar prices worldwide. In recent developments, Teucrium expanded its agricultural ETF lineup in December 2024 with the launch of two 2x daily leveraged funds, CXRN (corn) and WXET (wheat), bringing the total to eight agriculture-focused products alongside TAGS and its underlying funds. Earlier in August 2024, Teucrium announced the liquidation of its Teucrium AiLA Long-Short Agriculture Strategy ETF, ceasing trading on September 13, 2024, to streamline its offerings amid a focus on core commodity exposure strategies. These changes reflect Teucrium's ongoing evolution in providing specialized tools for active traders and advisors in volatile agricultural sectors.
