(AP) – David Fiebiger watched the collapse of trading company MF Global, but didn’t think the misdeeds of a big firm would have much effect on him or his Finley, North Dakota-based operation.

Fiebiger is the general manager of Finley Farmers Grain and Elevator. He says that new regulations from the Commodities Futures Trading Commission would eventually make it nearly impossible for him to use commodities markets to manage his risks.

Fiebiger and many members of Congress say regulations the CFTC put in place would eventually require much higher initial payments for trades, pricing smaller operations out of futures markets they use regularly to hedge their risks.

Congress is considering legislation that would undo the requirement. North Dakota Senator Heidi Heitkamp, introduced legislation earlier this month that would do just that.
