Anyone Trading BOT Ag Futures Electronically?

I noticed the CBOT's ad on the ET homepage. I don't trade ags, and I didn't realize they had started offering side by side trading of ag contracts. Given the newfound interest in ags, I would expect this to turn into a hot product or products. Certainly I will take a look at it. Apparently there is some volume but not huge.

Anyone trading these?

Volume in Corn has been extraordinary. Thursday the screen traded over 80,000 contracts.
 
The BOT is a must own stock. The ag volume could double or even triple. Not to mention the full members still have trading rights at the cboe. I think the stock eventually breaks through 134 and heads to 200. Thoughts?

Isn't the most liquid pit contract beans? Is there some reason corn is getting so much action?

No. Corn typically trades twice the volume of Beans.
 
I just tried a request for quote on a 2.5 sept call on corn and got no response on my interactive brokers account. Could some from IB tell me when they plan on offering quotes for these grain options? If I was planning to trade a lot of these could they get someone over at timber hill to make a half decent market. With the lower commissions I could likely be further ahead than using a pit broker.
