Pre-Harvest Marketing Thoughts • Revenue Protection preferred for sale of Crop Insurance Bushels = Delivery Bushels(Guaranteed Higher of Projected vs. Harvest Price) • Sell Delivery Bushels (Forward Cash Contract or HTA) when new crop futures are above the Projected Price (February average) • Generate adequate Cash Flow Needs for Fall 2013 through the Winter of 2013-14 • Sell Futures or Buy Put Options for Non-Delivery Bushels.
