Cross-Hedging Cottonseed Meal


Researchers at The University of Georgia presented this paper at the American Agricultural Economics Association meeting in Tampa, Florida in August 2000.  They theorized that cross-hedging cottonseed meal with soybean meal would reduce the price risk to cottonseed meal producers.  In addition, they presumed that using soybean meal futures prices, net realized prices from cross-hedging would be more risk efficient than simple cash pricing.
