Market Risk
• Economic vs. Product Risk– product deterioration in value ; product destruction
• Risk is a Marketing Function (Facilitative function)
• Risk as Cost; Risk Taking for Profit
• Farmers Have Unavoidable Price Risk
• Risk Transfer May Be Desirable, Profitable

Examples of Your Risk Management
• Plant Now, Price Now by Contract
• College Tuition (Pay in July for Year)
• College Study (Protect Against Low Pay Job)
• Magazine Subscription: Pay for copies in advance
• Home rental contract ; Insurance

Grain Farmers’ Market Risk
• Plant in Spring Without Knowing Fall Harvest Price
• Sell in Spring Without Knowing Fall Yield
• Sell in Fall Without Knowing Spring Price
• Store in Fall Without Knowing Spring Price

Farmer Tools For ManagingPrice Risk
• Cash Sale (at Harvest or From Storage)
• Forward Pricing:– Forward Contracts: Cash and Basis
contracts– Hedging using Futures– Options
• Minimum Price Contract
![Page 6: 1 Price Risk Management and the Futures Market Hedging.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/55195fb1550346b9198b473b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Futures Markets
• Futures Exchanges : CBOT, CME, KCBT etc.,
• Futures price is today’s price for products to be delivered in the future.– Contract specifications– Order execution process (open outcry)– Margin requirements

Futures Market Participants
• Speculators:– Risk Takers
– Profit From Correctly Anticipating Price Changes
– Could Not Deliver or Take Delivery of Futures Commodities
• Hedgers:– Have Inherent
Price Risk– Wish to Reduce or
Manage Risk– Could Deliver
Against Futures Contract

Hedge: Definitions
• Using the Futures or Options Markets To Manage Price Risks
• A Temporary Substitution of A Futures Market Transaction for a Planned Cash Market Transaction
• Taking Equal and Opposite Positions on the Cash and Futures Markets

Hedging Decisions
• What is my attitude toward price risk?
• What do I expect price to do?
• What are my costs?
• When should I set the hedge? When to lift it?
• What are my alternatives to hedging?
![Page 12: 1 Price Risk Management and the Futures Market Hedging.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/55195fb1550346b9198b473b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Hedging Guidelines
• Decide on a definite hedging objective - reasons, month
• Discuss hedging plan with those involved; e.g. bankers
• Know how to calculate your productions costs - FC, VC, BEP
• Follow basis patterns• Hedge reasonable amounts of commodity• Keep adequate records

Perfect Hedge Returns
For a Perfect Hedge (Basis = Constant), TheReturn To The Hedge (Cash Price + Futures)Will Always Be the Same.

Characteristics of a SuccessfulHedge
• Equal and Opposite Positions on Cash and Futures Markets
• Cash and Futures Markets Move In Same Direction
• Predictable Basis Pattern• Nullify Futures Position, Sell on Cash Market• Loss on One Market = Gain on Other Market• Transfer of Risk from Hedgers to Speculators• No Tears, No Regrets
![Page 19: 1 Price Risk Management and the Futures Market Hedging.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/55195fb1550346b9198b473b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Types of Hedges• Short Hedge (Protects Against Falling Prices)
– Long Cash, Short Futures
– Sell Cash, Buy Back Futures
• Long Hedge (Protects Against Rising Prices)
– Short Cash, Long Futures
– Buy Cash, Sell Futures
• Texas “Hedge” (Not a True Hedge)
– Same Position on Cash and Futures Markets
– Doubles the Risk

Three Farmer Hedges• Perfect Hedge
– Useful for Learning; Rare in Practice
• Storage Hedge– Set During Storage; Oct. to May– Protects Against Falling Prices– Helps Earn Storage Returns
• Pre-Harvest Hedge– Set in Spring– Protects Fall Harvest Price
![Page 21: 1 Price Risk Management and the Futures Market Hedging.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/55195fb1550346b9198b473b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Storage Hedges• Harvest-to-Sale Period (Storage Season)• Risk of Price Decline, Inventory Loss• Will Price Rise Cover Storage Costs?• Carrying Charges:
– Storage Costs– Handling Charges– Insurance and Interest Costs
• Key to Success: Narrowing Basis Pattern

Storage Hedge Rule
The Storage Hedger’s Carrying Charge(Return to Storage) Will Always EqualThe Change in Basis Over the Storage Period
The Storage Hedge Transfers the Basis Change From the Speculators to Hedgers
![Page 24: 1 Price Risk Management and the Futures Market Hedging.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/55195fb1550346b9198b473b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Hedging Principle
The Basis Determines the Success of A Hedge
![Page 25: 1 Price Risk Management and the Futures Market Hedging.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/55195fb1550346b9198b473b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Date Cash Market Futures Market
October Harvest Price = $3.00 Sell July Fut. = $3.50
Est. June Basis = $.10Storage Cost = $.30Forward Price = $3.50-.10= $3.40
Storage Profit= $3.40 -3.00 - .30= $.10
June Cash Sale @ $3.30 Buy Back Fut. @ $3.40
Return to Hedge: $3.30 + $.10 = $ 3.40
Corn Storage Hedge

Pre-Harvest Hedge
• Set During Planting or Growing Period
• Protects Against Harvest Price Risk– Will Harvest Price Cover Production Costs?
• Locks-In Fall Harvest Target Price
• Key to Success: Requires Accurate Harvest Basis Prediction

Calculating the ReturnTo a Hedge
Today: Current Futures Price……...$4.00
Less: Expected Basis at Sale Time ….. .50
Equals: Lock-In Forward Price……..$3.50
Future Sale: Cash Price…………………..$3.00
Plus/Minus Futures Transaction……… $.50
Equals: Total Return to Hedge…..…. $3.50
Less: Costs (Prodn. Or Storage)….…$3.20
Equals: Net Return To Hedge……….…..$.30

Why Don’t More Farmers Hedge?
• Lack of Understanding of Hedging
• Mistrust of Futures Market
• Prefer Ease of Forward Contracts
• Like Risk; Prefer to Speculate on Cash Market
• Dislike Margin Calls
• Other????
