Abstract

Farmers should include risk in their marketing, management, and financial plan. This article describes a conceptual model of risk and a microcomputer model, presents output for a hypothetical farm and examines the effects of agricultural policy and futures price, basis and crop yield risk on the financial probability distribution. The model should be solved for specific farms; conclusions should not be based on averages. Although participation in agricultural programs improves the financial position for a farm, price signals among grain are distorted causing a misallocation of resources. Financial survival distributions vary with size of risk coefficients.
