Would be kind of interesting.....I was talking to a fella the other day that farms a few acres we will say....like 1,500+ and I was kind of surprised when he said that he has never had an account and was asking me a little about trading.....the thing is having an account does not "guarantee squat".....a farmer/individual still has to make correct decisions if he/she has a trading account.....we sold beans in town on contract for this coming fall delivery and hedged beans on the board for this fall....really not much differently....I'm really not sure that we need the hedge account some days. But then other days it's nice to have I guess. Long run it has been good to us.....but our run is not over yet so it may taketh back away yet.....we have a lot of learning to do yet also.
