Multiple Crops as a HedgeWith food prices as volatile as they are, an individual farm is generally at the mercy of the market as to whether they will make a profit in any given year for their crops. Planting or producing multiple, different crops can allow you to create a portfolio of sorts, hedging against the possibility of price decreases for any one of your products. If prices drop in one and you will not be able to produce that crop profitably, you can reasonable transfer some of your labor capacity to increase production on another.
