Wherever corn is grown...

[Jolly]

Well, we're winding down the sweet corn season down here. Most folks that sold to the public, planted either Silver Queen or Funk's G90, and got around 5 ears/$1.

What's the roadside sweetcorn seller getting for his corn in your neck of the woods?

[Junkmanme]

In Colorado 20 years ago, 3 ears for $1.00 was common for sweet corn. No idea about the price now, but I would suspect that it is the same.

[susieM]

Our season goes from July to October, and the price at the Green Giant factory is about $.25 an ear.

[steff bugielski]

Mine is not ready yet but I will sell any extra ears fo $.50 each. They will gladly pay .

[MaineFarmMom]

Four to six dollars a dozen depending on quality. Mine won't be ready til late August because of a cold spring.

[Thoughthound]

At least $4/dz.

How can it be profitable otherwise?

Boy, the same price as they pay of ear piercing.

[RockyGlen]

here it will not be ready until the end of August, but it sells for 10/$1 or $10/bushel, even the grocery stores are usually 10/$1 once it comes in season, and 6/$1 right now when they have to bring it in.

I would not pay the prices you guys are paying.........

[FrankTheTank]

If i find it for 5/$1.00... my sweet corn growing days are over! I don't have room to be playing around with sweetcorn. Not quite ready around here yet.

[pixelphotograph]

20 ears for 10 dollars

[Stephen in SOKY]

Any of the se varieties are $5-6/dozen in Southern Kentucky. Silver Queen etc. are a tough sell at $3-4/dozen. Our season will open in 2-3 weeks.

From that thread title, I thought we had an FFA chapter secretary

Sweet corn isn't available up here yet, but usually goes for anywhere from $1.20 to $2.00/dozen.

[Tater'sPa]

Right down the road 2.50/12 guaranteed to be good or come back for another dozen. :baby04:
