Proof of global warming...

Recommended Posts

Corn prices have soared more than 40% in recent weeks as the drought and dry heat have wreaked havoc on crops in the Midwest. Prices reached as high as $7.48 per bushel of corn on the Chicago Board of Trade Wednesday morning, not far from the record high of $7.9975 hit last June.


:P

That's for sweetcorn rather than feedcorn. I think $1/ear has been the going rate for a long time.


Better off feeding it to the pigs...I can't believe people would pay that much!

Oops! I got that wrong. It's in the range of $2 - $6 per dozen ears here. Anyway, I'd pay $1 for a cooked and buttered ear of Illinois sweet corn any day! ;)

It's still a lot cheaper than one of those thongs shown in the OP's attachment :D (There ... now we're back on topic)

Well, if the broke corn fed fat asses in this country continue to buy corn for $1/ear, I doubt they'd be able to afford a thong much less fit in it!
