    • Grain and oilseed products traded at the CBOT and KCBT allow for price limits to expand when the remaining contract month in a crop year closes limit bid or limit offer. Below are the remaining old-crop contract months for CBOT and KCBT grain and oilseed futures that can solely trigger expansion of price limits. Please note that these definitions pertain only to expansion of price limits and may not coincide with old- and new-crop spread definitions for margin or position limit purposes.
