Shrimp - my last cost of corn was approx $0.50 an ear. . . Produce is generally marked up 40-60%. $1.00 is too much, but it's not very far off. Also, I buy premium corn, where a produce stand chick is probably buying a grade less than that, and profiting off of people who buy rejections. . . I'd bet her cost is somewhere around $0.40 an ear.
Think of it this way. . . when the weather is fucked up, usually corn/tomatoes/strawberries suffer the fastest. We've had a lot of rain and cool weather lfor a longer time than normal here in the south, so the market is a little goofy
