Farming is no longer just about weather, soil, and seed-it's about managing risk like Wall Street.
In Harvest Hedging, Hayden Van Der Post delivers a practical, no-nonsense guide to using modern financial tools-options, futures, and derivatives-to lock in prices, protect profit margins, and build resilient agricultural operations in an era of extreme volatility.
Whether you're a grain farmer in Alberta, a coffee grower in Belize, or a multi-acre operator in the U.S. Midwest, this book shows you how to apply proven financial strategies to safeguard your livelihood against unpredictable crop prices, soaring input costs, and global economic shocks.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
Use futures to lock in harvest prices before your crops leave the field
Buy options to protect against price crashes while still participating in upside potential
Hedge fuel and fertilizer costs to stabilize input margins
Manage currency risks for export-driven agribusiness
Build a personal hedging strategy tailored to your farm's size, cash flow, and goals
With real-world case studies, plain-language explanations, and step-by-step frameworks, Harvest Hedging makes a traditionally complex subject both accessible and actionable for farmers and agri-entrepreneurs ready to level up.
If you're serious about agriculture as a business-not just a lifestyle-this is the financial playbook you've been waiting for.
