Information
Marketing their crops and livestock has always been important to the
profitability of Arkansas producers. It became more important with the passage
of the 1996 Farm Bill. As American agriculture moves steadily to a
market-oriented and global system, it is expected marketing will have a greater
affect on farm-level profitability. Planting decisions will be based on expected
market returns more so than in the past. Producers will experience greater
exposure to price and yield risk. Thus, market information, records, and
available marketing tools increase in their importance to successfully manage
price risk.
