  14. Pre-Harvest Marketing Strategies • Revenue Protection = Insurance Bushels that can be committed to Delivery • Insurance Bushels = APH X Level of Coverage X Higher of Projected vs. Harvest Price • Combine Insurance Bushels sold for Delivery along with the use of Futures and Options Strategies for Non-Delivery bushels.

  16. Delivery of Corn Bushels with Revenue Protection (RP) Example • Marketing Strategy • Pre-Harvest Sell for Delivery up to 140 Bu/A • Price Guarantee is Higher of the Projected Price vs. Harvest Price • Slight Basis Risk • Must Plant the Crop Deductible 20% = 35 Bu/A RP @ 80% Level of Coverage 140 Bu/A Guarantee X $5.80/bu Projected Price 175 Bu/A Actual Production History (APH) = $812/A Revenue Guarantee Source: Johnson, ISU Extension, February 2012

La Niña Affect on U.S. Weather • What the “double-dip” La Niña means for 2012… • Fewer weather extremes compared to 2010 & 2011. • Dry 2011 fall matches analog years of 1971, 1974, 1999 and 2008, but duration is similar to 1988-89. • Expect this La Niña to last into March 2012. • Odds are 60% shift to El Niño by summer months.
