How to use the dataset

This dataset contains historical commodity price ranges for wheat, corn, and oats futures contracts from 1877 to present. It is a great resource for anyone interested in analyzing the trends of these commodities over time. Each row contains one day's data on the low and high prices of each contract.

To use this dataset, start by looking at the columns. There are several columns to choose from depending on which type of commodity you would like to analyze: Range_W_F1 (Lowest Price of Wheat Futures Contract), Range_W_F2 (Highest Price of Wheat Futures Contract), Range_C_F1 (Lowest Price of Corn Futures Contract), Range_C_F2 (Highest Price of Corn Futures Contract) and Range_O_F1 & 2 (Lowest and Highest Prices respectively for Oats Futures Contracts). Once you have selected the relevant columns for your analysis, pick a date range to focus on and filter out the rows outside that range. This will leave only those days within your chosen timeframe in the dataset so you can begin analyzing them more closely.

For an in-depth analysis it can be helpful to add other pieces data such as weather information or other economic indicators alongside these price ranges so you can investigate possible correlations between different factors that affect pricing in these markets over time. No matter how complex an analysis you might want to do with this data, this dataset provides a good starting point with reliable historical records dating all the way back over 140 years ago!
