Bill,

 

You did you math backwards….$4/half dozen is 66 cents and ear.  Around Boston they are charging 75 cents an ear.

 

Thx,

Frank

Phil, that is one heck of a good price $1.50 per ear. In my area (East Texas) we be lucky to get $2.00 doz. I think it would pay me to grow corn here and haul it up to your area to sell. Bill in Texas

They sell BT in too large of quantities for us and I really don't want to sign my life away with all their disclaimers.  I have had customers buy our corn because we don't spray with anything and yes it does have some worms, but I charge $4.00 a 1/2 dozen and always sell out of any quantity we take to the market.  We like to transplant on black plastic to help with the weeds and usually buy small quantity's of seed and buy a number of different varieties to give us a lot of different maturities. We are not trying to corner the market on sweet corn and only have it to sell to our regular customers who mainly coming to our booth to buy salad greens, lamb, and the other things we grow.
