Resumo: 	Production agriculture and agribusiness are exposed to many weather-related risks.  Recent years have seen the emergence of an increased interest in weather-based derivatives as mechanisms for sharing risks due to weather phenomena.  In this study, a unique precipitation derivative is proposed that allows the purchaser to specify the parameters of the idemnity function.  Pricing methods are presented in the context of a cotton harvest example from Mississippi.  Our findings show a potential for weather  derivatives to serve niche markets within U.S. agriculture.
