Archer Daniels Midland's board has bumped up the quarterly dividend by 2%, to 52 cents a share from 51 cents, making it 53 straight years that the agribusiness giant has boosted its payout.

The new quarterly rate, equal to $2.08 a year, represents an annual yield of about 3.06% based on Monday's closing price of $68.08, up from 3%.

The dividend boost maintains ADM's spot in the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index, whose 69 members have paid a higher dividend for at least 25 straight years, as well as its place on the smaller list of dividend kings--those who have boosted their dividends annually for at least a half century. That group currently counts 57 members, according to website Sure Dividend.

The Chicago company on Tuesday said the increased dividend is payable March 10 to shareholders of record Feb. 17.
