If the futures market was limited to the producers and end users, there would be no volume and thus no opportunity. Where was this discussion when feeders were $245 and fats at $170? It works both ways, funds drive it up unwarrantedly and vice versa. As producers we need to learn to use it to our advantage. I agree, the $3 swings in a trading session don't make sense, but it is what it is.
