* If you must harvest this corn, subtract the harvesting costs; and if you can only use dry corn, subtract drying costs. Of course the price you pay will be determined by
supply and demand conditions in your area and negotiations between you and the seller, but unless there are special circumstances it should not be above the prices shown here.
