MARKET PREMIUM PROGRAM


DESCRIPTION

CGB Grain Market Solutions logo in black and gold The CGB Market Premium allows the farmer to receive a Daily Hedge Price at a premium to the current market, for no product cost. There are two levels that are defined at the start of the pricing window, the Daily Hedge Price and the Price Out Level. This program prices equal amounts daily and will fully hedge all bushels enrolled, with no potential for additional quantities to be hedged.


 

How it Prices Your Grain


Prices equal amounts daily based on the following rules:

    • If futures do not trade at or below Price Out Level, you receive the Daily Hedge Price.
    • If futures do trade at or below the Price Out Level, all remaining bushels are priced at the Price Out Level. The Program is done and your hedge will be given back to you.
    • Your All-In Hedge Price = Simple Average of all Daily Hedge Values.

FAQ

Answer: All the bushels enrolled will be fully priced. This product does not require a potential second quantity to be priced.
Answer: Your best case hedge price is the Daily Hedge Price. You will price equal quantities every day at this level as long as the market stays above the Price Out Level. At the end of the pricing window, if you haven’t been priced out, all bushels enrolled will be hedged at the Daily Hedge Price.
Answer: Your worst case hedge price is the Price Out Level. Achieving this price on ALL bushels enrolled would require the market to break below the Price Out Level on day 1. Otherwise, you will accumulate at least some bushels at the Daily Hedge Price.
