Abstract

Crop insurance and preharvest pricing strategies were analyzed for all years and years following a normal crop year scenarios for the 1986 through 2001 period in three Indiana counties. Crop insurance products and early spring preharvest marketing generally had positive returns for producers. A large number of strategies provided higher mean revenues, higher 5 per cent valuesatrisk, and higher certainty equivalents than the benchmark strategy. Although preharvest marketing strategies had the highest certainty equivalents in both scenarios, net farm revenues were lower and crop insurance combined with preharvest pricing were common among topranked strategies following normal crop years.
