How do I go about buying commodities?

Would you like to buy them for your own use or as an investment vehicle?

I just thought of somthing else too, Maybe seeds of certain crops.
So one can take these and start afresh anywhere, and maybe traded with too

Here are the tickers of some exchange-traded commodity trusts.

Tickers:

ung - Natural Gas
dbb - base metals copper/zinc/aluminum
dbe - energy(oil/gasoline/heating oil/natural gas)
dbc - general commodities
dba - agricultural commodities
cow - (no joke) cattle, etc.
uso - oil

They trade just like stocks on the American Stock Exchange.
