Abstract: The effect of output price risk on soybean crushing margins is determined. The results show crushing margins increase as risk increases indicating soybean processors are risk averse. Thus, soybean processors with better risk management strategies may have a competitive advantage. Policy implications are that the increased margin from risk should be incorporated in evaluating benefits of price stabilization programs.
