    Good trade idea, thanks Shawn. Question: the Dec contracts will have expired within the 6 month time-frame. Will the roll spread not be an issue in Wheat?

      Both contracts will roll at the same time. Right now speculators are heavily long CBOT wheat and short MN wheat so if the roll occurred with this spec bifurcation the roll would tend to help this spread gain.

    The spread chart shows this to be at an extreme, but it only goes back 2-1/2yrs. It would be better to see a longer term timeframe, so as to judge how much of an extreme this spread is at.....
