Actual Basis Contracts (ABCs)

Providing enhanced hedging flexibility for more sophisticated risk managers. This is an innovative service that provides producers with maximum flexibility while still offering price protection.

Producers have the flexibility to deliver hogs against an ABC over a one to two month window depending on the contract period.

A large delivery window is made possible by taking hedges on both the dollar and the hog contracts, leaving producers exposed to changes in the basis.

The producer accepts basis risk in exchange for giving up price risk.

Producers still maintain broad coverage against price swings but are now able to take advantage of dynamic basis changes.

This program offers the sophisticated hedger the flexibility he/she desires with the potential to manage basis without tying up a lot of capital.

Target Pricing

Allows producers the ability to set strike prices and capture favourable market movements without you having to sit by your computer. Target Pricing allows producers to choose a price at which they are prepared to forward contract hogs to h@ms Marketing Services, over a specified time period.

The price that producers select will be higher than the current forward price.

If the forward price should strengthen over the time period, h@ms Marketing Services will generate a Fixed Price Contract at the targeted price. The contract will then be mailed out.

Target prices should be based on past pricing information, the farm’s cost of production and your overall market outlook.

Soymeal and Corn

Offering spot and forward pricing options.

Volume Purchasing

Collective buying in volume assures competitive pricing.

In-transit insurance

Ensure that your hogs are covered from the farm to the kill floor at a low affordable cost. Base rate starts at $0.10/$100 of value.
