Farm Commodity Price Stabilization through Futures Markets

Robert A. Richardson and Paul L. Farris

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1973, vol. 55, issue 2, 225-230

Abstract: A proposal to stabilize farm prices through government operations in futures markets was examined using soybeans for 1953–1967. The example showed that soybean prices would not have been stabilized. Operation of the proposal might also have modified buying and selling behavior and cash-futures price relations.
