recently I read somewhere that new corn crop(harvested early) can be used for delivery of september corn. there is even a seasonal trade going on (buying Z/U corn) july corn is the last fully old crop corn of the previous season thus maybe subject to supply shortages/ squeezes since you...

Day trading is possible however a bit wild nowadays. Didn't trade any intra commodity spread in X_trader before but traded calendars. It must be possible in ICE exchange as a exchange traded spread. (afterall x_trader is the ferrari of trading platforms) I don't think there will be need for...
