My only question is why is futures considered our savoir when most dairyman I have talked too that have bought them have lost money. Give us proof that the average trade a farmer makes with futures is a winner. Then I will embrace it. Also I question coops motivation for kindly offering this service to us because they become middleman in a whole new money making enterprise.

we haven't even seen the damage caused by 09 yet. Why lock this year at a loss what's left to loose most of it's gone anyway.
