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.
