There is a lot of emotion about the growth of the global economy and the cost of food. It sounds like prices are growing at an unusually fast pace. Well, I checked the performance of DBA (ETF: agriculturals) and XLI (ETF: industrial companies). Both asset classes have been growing at the same pace.
My point is that often people get excited by the performance of some sectors while others are doing as well, if not better. I always compare the historical price of what I want to buy with that of SPY and check its volatility and relative performance. Yes, volatility has to get into the equation as well.
