Risk has always been a part of agriculture, but farming has changed dramatically over the past few years. Farmers are learning that it is now a whole new ball game. There are new rules, new stakes, new players and most of all, new risks. Risk management is a key element in the ball game of grain marketing ñ a game you can win ñ with the right game plan.
