CBOT Treasury Yield Curve Speculation
While there are no guarantees that spread trading carries less inherent risk than buying or selling futures individually, under most circumstances a spread is much more manageable in terms of profit and loss.

Chicago Board of Trade Treasury Futures Delivery Process
The premise of the futures market is the ability of a market participant to take delivery of the underlying asset. Without this simple concept, market pricing would be inefficient due to the fact that there would be no reason for the futures price and the cash commodity price to converge at expiration. In the case of agricultural commodities it is somewhat obvious what exactly would be delivered should you decide to take it that far, in the Treasury complex things aren't so clear. This article published by the CBOT details the delivery process for Treasury Bonds and Notes.

It is difficult to turn on the television or open the newspaper without being reminded of the impact that commodity prices have on our daily lives.
