Soybean farmers sell call options for hedging against Price Uncertainty and Harvest Uncertainty.

Nothing destroys the income of soybean farmers more than a sudden price decline during harvest or a unexpected bad harvest. As such, selling call options to buyers guarantees the farmer against a sudden price decline and allows some income to be made even in a bad harvest.

When do you sell a call option?

There are a couple of times you'd do it. The first is if you want to automatically lock in a gain. Let's say you have a stock you bought at 15, and you want to double your money on the investment. So you sell a call at 30 with a long expiration date...oh, maybe a year. If at any time the stock crosses the $30 threshold, you exercise the option. You can also use short calls and long puts (sell a call, buy a put) as a hedging strategy. And then there's the call you sell when you just want to make money by collecting premiums--you sell a call at a higher price than you think the stock will reach, and hope it doesn't go that high.

Call option and put option?

A call option allows its purchaser to buy ("call in") stocks at a certain price on a certain date--say, 100 shares of Walmart for $50 on November 1. A put option allows its purchaser to sell ("put") stocks on a certain price for a certain date. The seller of the option has to buy them (in a put) or sell them (in a call) if the option is exercised.
