A LOOK TO THE FUTURE
MGEX is committed to implementing changes to meet customer needs. As the futures industry continues to evolve, so does MGEX.

In December 2004, MGEX launched five electronically traded agricultural index contracts. These contracts are based on Data Transmission Network (DTN) calculated country-origin based indexes. The indexes represent country elevator prices to a much closer degree than the traditional deliverable contracts.

In addition to the indexes, hard red spring wheat trades electronically during trading and night-time hours. Look for information about these contracts in the products section of this site.
