| Abstract | This report describes a General Accounting Office study of farmers' marketing practices. The report specifically discusses farmers' use of the three advanced marketing techniques--cash forward contracting, hedging in the futures market, and trading in agricultural options--as disclosed in nine studies of farmers' marketing practices made from 1976 through 1986; and educational programs in advanced marketing techniques provided by land-grant universities, commodity exchanges, and producer organizations primarily during the 12 months ending April 30, 1987. Some of the conclusions presented by the review are the following: (1) producers can use advanced marketing techniques to ensure a certain price for their commodities at a future date, if the producer can accept risk; (2) advanced marketing techniques may not be appropriate for all producers or for all commodities in all parts of the country; (3) few studies have been made of the degree to which advanced marketing techniques have been used; (4) about 25,000 persons attended advanced marketing education programs in the year ending April 30, 1987; and (5) other training methods in advanced marketing techniques are being offered.
