I think the poster was talking that individuals and funds that hold Farmers Edge on margin may get margin calls if they're extended, since if the share price go below $3, the margin on the stock will be cut from 100% to 50%.
While it may affect some investors, I would think there aren't that many shares held on margin that would need to be covered unless the market gets a downturn, as I doubt many are 100% extended.
