2. What is a Weather Hedge? A risk contract that provides any business a method to offset financial risk from adverse weather events. Weather contracts are used extensively by large corporations to manage weather risk. eWeatherRisk brings the same program to all farms and businesses. There is no adjuster - it pays when the chosen weather event happens. Weather contracts provide previously unavailable protection to regional agribusinesses. Weather contracts can be used for virtually any weather related risk as a stand-alone solution or combination with other cover opportunities. Or… any business that has weather risk. Bottom line: Provides a new risk management tool.

3. Every facet of the US economy uses weather hedging. Energy (Utilities) is the largest sector, followed closely by Agribusiness. Chances are your local power company hedges weather risk to offset excess heat or cold in order to keep your bill the same and hedge their profit. Most agri-processors hedge against weather related cost increases to their supplies. Growers hedge weather to protect profits from excess costs and revenue losses. eWeatherRisk’s program helps both. Who buys weather risk? Weather Contracts Purchased Why? Protect profit from adverse weather.

Input volumes can be hedged to alleviate costs associated with transportation, spot prices and delivery schedule issues. CME futures positions can be hedged with regional, large area weather risk on the crop. Risks associated with actual production can be hedged; i.e., excessive heat or excessive cold, drought, excess rain. Plant operating efficiencies can be greatly reduced in excessively hot conditions.
