"if you can mentally handle margin calls that is the best option..."
This is the hard part.

Look at this realistically. For last years corn crop as you planted it give or take was worth at the high 5.17. At its lows was 3.18, so as your corn grew, price dropped 1.99 that was a 1.99 margin call on your growing crop. NO you did not have to cut a check but all the same you just got a 1.99 margin call.

We have seem this with crops in the bins, prices drops $1.00 and guys seem UN-phased. Yet the most WOULD HAVE A ABSOLUTE COW cutting a check to the CME group for a .20 margin call.
