WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a recent column in the Des Moines Register, professor Don Coursey argued that the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act could have consequences for America's farmers.

"As a result, Dodd-Frank could make risk management significantly more costly for America's farmers, driving up volatility in the market and potentially leading to huge price increases for consumers."
