Milk Price Volatility;
GETTTYSBURG (Adams Co.)
—One of the few guarantees con
cerning your milk price is that it is
extremely volatile. How you man
age these price swings will help
determine the future success of
your dairy operation.
The use of dairy futures will
probably become the most com
mon-method for producers to limit
milk price fluctuations in the
future. This management tool will
become even more important as
the government price support pro
grams for dairy arc phased out
Beginning this year, both the
Coffee. Sugar, and Cocoa Ex
change and the Chicago Mer
cantile Exchange began offering a
milk futures and options contract
These contracts allow you to off
set your cash price with a secured
futures price. By knowing your
future milk price your budgeting
and cash flow projections can be
much more accurate. This is bene
ficial when considering a major
capital investment and projecting
loan repayment ability.
To help producers understand
this concept The University of
Wisconsin has scheduled a satel
lite videoconference “Managing
Price Risk-Using Dairy Futures,”
for September 8 from 1:30-4 p.m.
This broadcast will be downlinked
to the Lancaster County Extension
Office and the Adams County Ex
tension Office.
Topics to be covered during the
MKK.IT does a body good.
