That is probably the best advice, be happy with the original hedged price (assuming he was hedging instead of just speculating). That does not help the pain of the margin calls till the corn is sold and collected for. If a person is going to hedge, he better have either deep enough pockets or a bank line of credit to cover the margin calls, or hedging can get to be a very painful and sometimes a very expensive lesson if forced out of a position at the worst possible time. Voice of experience (from 25 years ago) talking here.

I still hedge occasionally, but I have my ducks covered if I do and figure the worst possible scenario I can imagine then double it. Then you MIGHT be covered.
