The hedger establishes a price for a commodity that is either currently owned or committed for production and that will be delivered at some time in the future (e.g., grains, oilseeds or livestock), or that will be purchased in the future (e.g., feed ingredients bought by livestock producers, or crops by elevators, gins, etc.). The other trader in the market is the hedger. Sounds easy, doesn't it? Well, before you jump in, be assured that the majority of futures market speculators (in fact, almost 90 percent) lose money at some point. So the key to speculating is buying low and selling high or selling high and buying low. However, they do know (or think they know) that the price of beans or cattle is too low (or high) and hope that by buying (or selling) futures contracts today they can later liquidate the contracts at a profit. They may not even know what a soybean looks like, or the difference between a Holstein and a Hereford.
Speculators trade to make a profit from price level changes. They have no intention of either delivering or accepting delivery of the product traded. They establish a price for a commodity that they neither currently own nor have committed to produce. Speculators enter the futures market with the objective to make a profit from changes in futures prices. Two groups are interested in futures trading - speculators and hedgers. This publication explains how livestock producers can use futures markets to manage price risk. One of these price risk management opportunities is available through futures markets contracts. Livestock producers who are selling products or purchasing inputs can do one of two things when making pricing decisions: accept the market price when they are ready to deliver products or purchase inputs, or reduce input and product price risks by using price risk management tools.
In today's farming environment of extreme price volatility and large debt commitments, most livestock producers need the security of one or more of the advantages offered by price risk management.
