What is the difference between speculators and hedgers in futures markets?

Hedgers use futures to protect themselves from adverse price fluctuations; for example, a soybean farmer that wants to lock in a price for their crop. A speculator's goal is to profit from price movements, without any intention of owning or delivering the underlying commodity.
