Last summer around this time corn on the cob was 50c an ear.
I know....still ridiculous but this is Ca.
This year it's been a lot higher and just recently fell below a dollar.
Right now the store is advertising corn at the lowest price this year 75c each.
For you math challenged...that's a 50% increase year over year.

It's not the same quality corn and does not compete in our market
for fresh corn. They do grow sweet corn, but not of the quality
we see in fresh corn. Their corn ends up being processed and canned.
Europe does not eat much FRESH sweet corn.
Fresh corn is predominantly eaten in North, Central, and South AMerica. Asians eat some fresh corns in select countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, but
those are local varieties unlike American sweet corn.

That's pretty stupid. Pig corn isn't anything like fresh crisp sweet
corn. There's a reason the pigs eat cobb and all.

No. They were not. Its a different product, and fresh sweet corn has a limited shelf life,
and is not so subject to European prices. Even if it were a European thing.

and is not so subject to European prices. Even if it were a European thing.

free to show it.

Which does not at all address Scott's SPECIFIC point in his OP.Thanks, I know about corn and its varieties. Scott is free to defend his claim that an ear of corn is more expensive this year. I'm open to other causes for the price rise such as weather.
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4616373-corn-etf-ukraine-russia-conflict-drought-impact
The war in Ukraine impacts the worldwide corn market for two significant reasons:
As a combined fifth leading corn producer, any decline in Ukrainian or Russian supplies pressures other producers to compensate for crop losses. Corn is the ingredient for ethanol in the U.S., as the ethanol mandate requires biofuel blending with gasoline. Russia is a leading oil
producer, and higher traditional energy prices put pressure on ethanol prices and demand upward.
