Frequently Asked Questions About Our Hedge Program
Common questions from producers and commercial operations considering our Scale-In hedge program.
What is the difference between your hedge program and futures hedging?
Our proprietary Scale-In hedge program uses forward contracts, not futures. This means you are not exposed to margin calls, daily settlement, or the complexity of futures markets. We assist with forward contracts and very selectively advise to store grains or cotton when market conditions support it.
