Call a brokerage, pick a strike price, buy a put. A put gives you the option to BUY a futures contract at the price you select. They have value for both time and basis between the put and the futures contract. You would do this when you sell crop, but you are afraid that the market price may rise. I'm in the same boat, actually.
