Corn is 64c a can here in White Flight Missouri

There's a lot of water in canned corn though. Probably easier to compare with frozen.

About $1.20/lb at both stores near me.

Edit - fresh corn on the cob is $0.70 per ear near me. In January.

$8.40 a dozen, which is only slightly more than what local farmers are now charging here in the Midwest in the summer when it is in season. That's nuts. I can't imagine it's very good at this time of year though.

I am sure it is frozen and thawed. Seems strange to grow corn in a greenhouse.

Yeah, but that's Corn water. You don't get that with frozen.
