Abstract: Risk management strategies were compared using a corn/soybean farm, a hog farm, and a diversified hog/crop farm. Results suggest risk management tools are more effective in combinations, hog/crop diversification shows limited risk reducing benefits, and the effects of choosing among risk management tools may be overemphasized.
