| Introduction to Options Hedging | |||
| Low prices and weather-related production losses over the past several years have reinforced the advisability of developing a strong risk management program that makes use of innovative marketing strategies, crop insurance and advanced farm and financial management techniques. The use of options as a marketing and risk management tool is the focus in this session. It is oriented towards those market participants that have minimal experience using options trading to hedge price risks and will cover terminology and basic options strategies. | |||
