Dairy Margin Management Seminar – Denver

Day 1 Topics Covered

  • Identifying Your Exposures
  • An introduction to commodity price risk management, focusing on the critical first step of building a risk model for your operation using the futures market to project profit and loss.

  • Contracting Alternatives: Tools to Manage Risk
  • An overview of cash contacts, an introduction to options, and a detailed discussion of futures, including capital requirements and daily settlement procedures of margin accounts. Effectively integrating insurance such as dairy revenue protection (DRP) with exchange-traded contracts will also be reviewed.

  • Adding Flexibility with Options
  • Core option strategies, and how they can be used to establish the precise risk/return balance that’s right for your operation. You learn how multiple option positions can protect against higher or lower prices, and how to select the right position(s) for your needs.

  • Applying Concepts Learned I
  • A price management exercise tests your ability to use futures and a basic options strategy to establish and protect a price for a simulated dairy operation through several decision periods.

Day 2 Topics Covered

  • Creating a Margin Management Policy
  • Best practices in margin management, starting with a strategic approach that includes the creation of an objective margin management policy to guide decision-making.

  • Tailoring Your Strategy as Markets Change
  • Taking an active approach to margin management to improve long-term outcomes. We explore why and how to make adjustment to initial positions to address risk or take advantage of opportunities to capture attractive margins as commodity prices change.

  • Applying Concepts Learned II
  • A second, more advanced exercise reinforces your understanding of how to initiate and adjust positions over a marketing period to achieve a margin objective. We conclude by evaluating the choices made at various decision points and the resulting effects on net margins.
