| Abstract: | Government program changes and increased price volatility are causing cotton farmers to manage more price risks. A "harvest strategy" which sells cotton at harvest, purchases an at-the-money July call options and exercises this contract eight months later is a strategy which takes advantage of potential future price increases. |
