Where futures earn their place

Futures and options give you precision the insurance products cannot. You pick the contract month. You pick the strike. You can leg into a position over a week or come out of it in a day. The trade-off is active management. A brokerage account, daily mark-to-market, and margin to post if the market moves against you.

Some operations are built for that. Many are not. Plenty of our cattle clients use LRP or LGM as their floor and run futures on top for the cleaner bushels or the higher volume sale weeks. We will be straight with you on whether you fit that pattern.

Grain silo tablet


Common ways producers use it


Sale hedges

Lock pricing on bushels still in the bin or cattle still on the lot.


Re-ownership

Stay exposed to a rally on bushels you have already moved through the cash market.


Options strategies

Puts to set a floor, calls to keep upside open, fences and collars to manage the premium.


Stacking with insurance

Run futures on top of an LRP or LGM endorsement when the exposure calls for it.
