Your screen name is fitting. It explains why you don’t understand that farmers are planting field corn instead of sweet corn, therby raising the price of sweet corn.
Do you have statistics on how many acres of sweet corn have been replaced with field corn? Do you think that fuel and fertilizer costs have any bearing whatsoever on the price of sweet corn?
Farmers are still planting the same sweet corn acres.
Middlemen are just using this controversy to
raise prices, and also the fact that out of season
sweetcorn is always high.
It is not late summer....
For the regular crop!!!
