"Corn is $7/lb in America" is either propaganda or a joke from Arrested Development

Corn is 64c a pound where I am, not close at all to where it’s grown.

What grocer? 64 is at Aldis in FL.

Aldis is always cheaper than Americas grocery store chains, often by a lot.

Sounds like you should go there then, there’s a bunch if Aldis in Houston TX.

I'm saying that because its common that aldis has corn for say 75 cents a pound and kroger has it for 2$ a pound. They are less than a mile apart by me.
