Abstract: A novel method for financing in production of agricultural commodities. A contractual framework between the agricultural producer and a capital provider is defined by consideration of a minimum guaranteed yield and net price for the crop within a particular crop season. Before the commencement of a crop growing season, the parameters of a crop cycle including a guaranteed minimum yield and a net price are generated by a crop production computer software program, and are agreed between the farmer and the capital provider. During the growing season the capital provider pays for all of the required crop inputs while the farmer grows the crop. At the conclusion of the growing season, the farmer delivers the crop production to the capital provider and is paid the agreed net price in respect of the complete volume produced, hedged by the guaranteed minimum yield. The net payment due to the farmer can also be calculated by the crop production computer software.
