The use of financial tools can be effective to optimize the returns on your harvest. The flexibility of futures gives producers the ability to implement a variety of strategies designed to achieve profit goals and hedge against the negative impacts of inclement weather, political upheaval or an untimely economic downturn. Hedging agricultural crops using options can allow producers to establish price floors and potentially participate in upside price rallies.
