Intercommodity spread

Buying wheat futures and selling corn futures is an example of an intercommodity spread. Spread trading is popular and the wheat/corn spread is followed by many in the market. The Dec’10 wheat/corn spread was $1.25 per bushel in early June. The wheat premium reached nearly $4 in August and now stands at about $2.25 per bushel. How’s that for volatility and trading opportunities?
