I have heard that this past year that farmers didn't do well with the price of corn being very low. It is said it ran around 4 dollars a bushel. When I was a kid a bushel of corn was a measure by the corn on the cob bushel. I suppose now it is a bushel of shelled corn. The corn above from Walmart was expensive if one only got 4 bucks a bushel basket. That means these ears of corn would only cost about 20 cents an ear. I don't even want to figure out what I paid for this plastic sack of corn on the cob. The one ear on the right had kernels that seemed smaller almost like it had been mixed with a pop corn bred. When I was a kid this corn was fed to the hogs one shovel full at a time.
An added note as Betsy reminds me I didn't tell you that four squirrels will be happy with me for a while until they get the kernels all cleaned off of the cobs.

So, who will be enjoying that corn? A squirrel or two?
I wonder how the farmers make a living, here as well as where you live.
