Consider the following scenario for wheat futures.  Back on November 18th, 2022 the spread between the Dec 2022 and Jul 2023 was -$0.15 per bu. (Jul less than Dec).  Today (Nov 18th, 2025) the spread between the Dec 2025 and Jul 2026 is  -$0.33 per bu (Jul greater than Dec).  Therefore, the market is providing a larger incentive to store wheat today than back in 2022.
