Stupid, that. For that price, the Hogs can have it. I've seen those stupid prices also at the market also and just walk on by.
I'm sure it will be blamed on Covid or Bill Gates buying up all the farms!!
Idiots.

If you're in New Orleans, the answer would be " We haven't had prices like that since Katrina."

Loc: Imperial Beach, CA.
Born and raised in Los Angeles area, now in San Diego. When I was growing up in 50's & 60's we had a local "farmer" who planted corn every year and you could get corn that had been fresh picked, What a taste difference from the grocery market "fresh" ones (2-3 days old). Sweeter and juicier. Those fields are now condos and the local dairy farm is gone and is now industrial buildings. Went to High School with the grandsons of the dairies founders. When moved to San Diego late 70's could get fresh strawberries and corn from a field less than 5 miles away. Now retail and a Starbucks. Have to drive 65 miles to pick strawberries from field now. (They don't pick them for you) Are things really better now?

Back in the mid 70s, i used to go to the Green Giant cannery in Fox Lake, to buy my corn on the cob ...... a paper shopping bag packed full was only 0.50 cents. What happened?

We have corn farms near us, and they deliver straight to the supermarkets.
