In Lab 2 Part 2, we use the Python package yfinance to analyze historical corn price futures. There is a typo in this section where the instructions ask to get corn price futures for the period of 1997 to 2023. The database only extends back to the year 2000, so when you pull the data, it will get you the years 2000-2023 regardless of whether you specify 1997 or not. This will not affect your code, as the function will just pull data from the earliest possible date if the date you specify is outside of its range. Do not worry if you have already submitted the lab, this does not change anything and you will not lose any points for specifying 1997 or 2000 as your starting date. Please let me know if you have any questions about this and my apologies for the typo.
