Funny that so many will complain about being a price taker, then some will also complain about the guy who is a price maker…
My neighbor and his family run a few produce stands. The entire family and a few neighborhood kids work like mules all summer. They are up at 3:30 AM to pick sweet corn for the day by hand for about 2 months of the summer no matter the weather.
Their produce is fantastic, I buy it to support them and I want to reward them for their hard work.
He said the only people that throw a price tantrum is old farmers that think a dozen ears of corn should be $3/dz yet.
As I sit here and type this every field crop I am growing at the moment is currently under the cost of production if I wanted to sell some today, kudos to those who are trying to find a different way. |
