Went for a walk locally today. At one point we walked through a field of sweetcorn which was way taller than me and had at least two or three sweetcorns per plant on. None of the sweetcorn had been harvested and a few in which the edible bit was visible all looked well beyond their best-before date.
So I presumed that the farmer gets paid a subsidy for growing something (rather than nothing) but harvesting it just isn't economically justifiable. Or maybe they use foreign labour which wasn't available this year. Maybe it's used as animal feed so best-before doesn't matter so much. Or some other reason.
Anyone have any thoughts?
