  • Mission [1]
    • Committee's focus for 2011 was primarily to obtain the views of agricultural futures market experts, national farm organizations, major commodity and agribusiness groups and the farm banking community regarding pending rulemakings. To that end, a major meeting was convened in May 2011. The major topics for discussion were issues related to the Dodd-Frank Act, including position limits, hedge exemptions, the swap dealer definition, the end user exception and margin requirements for uncleared swaps. The AAC also received a presentation on recent activities in the major agricultural markets.
