Price of sweet corn this summer?

It’s just coming on here in western Pa, but prices seem really high. There’s a farm that has a couple self service wagons spread over two counties….Butter and Sugar 14 ears for $10. Another place was selling 13 ears for $8 . Mine will be ready next week, ( Bodacious ), was gonna sell 5 dozen for $25.

In the middle of the state, corn is much cheaper, Mennonites and Amish sold last season for as low as $1.75 a dozen. I’m going to the Lewisburg Farm Market on Wednesday, see what it’s going for there.

Free here all day long. Farmers here literally drive around town offering it to everyone. Aways plenty around.

$5 a dozen.

$5 a dozen

They just started selling, $6 a dozen.

Most is $5 per dozen or 50 cents per ear. The farmers markets with organic are about $2per dozen more. I picked the first 7 dozen ears Saturday and today. Most good ears in batch one are gone. The 2nd batch is a couple of weeks off and the last batch has the tassel in the whorl so timing is good.

I've been poking around here lately. I'm seeing $9/doz pretty regular. I might get arrested in someone's sweet corn patch at these prices. I guess I'll wait til the frenzy is over and prices come down a bit before I spring for my freezer supply. I sure miss the good folks and hospitality of Nebraska at times like this.

Bought 14 ears for $8 a couple weeks ago from a roadside stand...first one I saw this year.

Come to the Northeast and take it right in the shorts…..Buck an Ear ….

Just bought a half dozen today for the wife and I. .70 an ear - 8.00 a dozen. It was very tasty - a bicolor corn. I think it was 6.00 a dozen last year.

Mine should be about ready to start picking after I get back from our state convention next week end.

Sooo, you're gonna be gone right when your corn is ready.. Hmmm?

Local stands $7 or $8 for 13 ears. BIL grows and sells but free to us but I give them free eggs.

$6 is what I've been paying, it's not ready at home yet.

25 years ago we sold Bodacious and Incredible for $3 dozen.
Sold out every day.

I got my corn harvested and processed and rand the bush hog and disk through those rows yesterday to chop up the stalks. Next I'll chisel plow and disk it again before planting radishes for the deer as a water cover crop.

I said after, not during.....

Ours is drying up now but the average price was 5 dollars a dozen.

At the local produce auctions, sweets corn is averaging $24.00 for 10 dozen ears, so $2.40 a dozen. It should go down quite a bit soon. I'll freeze 10 dozen ears.

4.25 dozen here Love the Amish farmers!!
We’ve put up 20 dozen so far If this dang Covid my wife has would get gone we’re going to do 20 more

Yup, some farmers put sweet corn in their planter and grow enough for the whole county!

8.00 dollars a dozen here southeast kansas.

4.50 at just about all the Amish in Juniata county Brownie. It'll be dropping some pretty soon, as more comes on.

2 ears for a dollar

The farmers market I set up at to sell my honey at they sell for $6 a dozen.

I was at the Lewisburg Farm Market today. Every Wednesday, lots of Mennonite and Amish. Prices on corn were double last years prices. Last summer, never over $3 a dozen. This year, $7.50- $8.00 is the going price. All produce was really high priced.

$7 a dozen. Just started selling two weeks ago.

$9 a dozen yesterday. Got 14 ears though. It was some good corn.

$8 a dozen. Best sweet corn around here.

About like coons here $5 a dozen
