The Futures option lets you go to Las Vegas while you're still down on the farm--sort of. It can either be a way to maximize your profits or to lose the farm. (The futures market in SimFarm is much simpler than in the real world--and much safer. Don't go off investing your real money on basis of success in SimFarm.)
The standard way to sell your crops is to harvest them when they're ready, and either sell them right away for the current market price, or put them in storage and wait for the price to go up. Of course, many crops go down in quality and lose their value if stored too long.
The futures market gives you another option, or gamble, if you prefer. It lets you sell your harvest months or years in advance--wheter it's still growing or not even planted yet--at the current market value.
You don't collect the cash until you harvest and deliver the crop. When you do harvest and dliver, you will only get the full market price if your harvest is a good one and of high grade. A bad harvest will only bring in a precentage of the market price and a totally lost harvest pays nothing.
Here's the idea: if you think today's market price for a crop is good, and you think that it will be lower at the time you actually harvest, then you can sell your future harvest and lock in today's price.
Of course, the people who buy your futures are betting that you're wrong. They make their money when the price goes up after the've bought it. A lot of factors affect market price, including the quality of other local harvests, the time of year and the weather. Do you research!
Here's how to do it:
1. Check the Market Value window frequently to see how the crop is behaving on the market. Look at the graphs, watch the trends, and try to predict the future.
2. When you think the price is at its peak, and is about to go down, it's time to sell.
3. Sell one or more future harvests by opening the Schedule window for your field, clicking on the Contract button, and clicking on the the schudle bar at the time when you want to make the contract. The market price at contract time is locked in.
You will only truly make a killing if the crop's price drops and you've sold a lot of futures, implying that you are planning on planting the same crop for a number of harvests.
Remember: the Market Value window reflects the price of an ideal, perfect harvest, so in order to reap whatever futures price you sow, you must maintain the crop's quality.
