strategies are analyzed for
NuSunTM  oil sunflower
producers. Correlations indicate
that changes  in NuSun prices
are the most closely correlated
with canola  futures. Soybean oil
futures were a distant,  secondbest
correlation. A cross-hedge
ratio of .99  hundredweight of
November canola futures was
derived for  October. With
December soybean oil futures,
the cross-hedge  ratio was .33
hundredweight. On the basis of
net price  received, seven
strategies ranked better than
harvest sales  only. Soybean oil
futures performed somewhat
better across  all strategies, but
with somewhat higher variability
on  average. The analysis was
based on 1997-2004 data.},
