Minor nit - futures are not options. If you buy a futures contract, you have the right and responsibility to buy wheat for $1000 in the future.

If you hold the futures contract at it's expiration date, you must take delivery, so pretty much all speculators have a pressing need to offload their contracts to somebody before the due date.
