Hello, all futures commodities have a trading period, which is the delivery period. It is necessary to close the position on the delivery date. The corn index you see now is actually the average of the contract prices of corn added up by software vendors. It is only instructive and cannot be traded. Usually we trade futures contracts, that is, contracts with numbers behind them, such as corn 1607.

If the above answers are useful to you, please adopt them. Thank you.
