A pint goes for about $2.50 here, and that’s in season and local. If I’m doing my math right, that adds up to $40 per two gallons. So who is getting the other 82.5% of that profit? https://twitter.com/giannanino/status/1288679124089757697
Yawn. Yes I know what goes into farming. I grew up on a farm in a farming community. Folks who owned the farms that grew commercial crops were loaded. They also got subsidized and rest of us didn’t. Rest of us were below poverty line. I also used the most conservative numbers
Even considering the low sales price of $2.50 per pint (which btw is v limited in when you can get it) at my local HEB (which pays workers well) you’re still looking at at least $20 when all is said and done.
In my effort to stay in character count I used “profit” wrong but the profit in the calculation I gave would still be about $20 per 2gal or $10/gal, multiplied by 100s to 1000s a day in season. It goes to the “poor” 
farmers (whose kids drove new cars) and the Corp brand.

Also my community grew blueberries. We grew blueberries. I know exactly what goes into growing. We didn’t have the help of machines bc we were poor and almost subsistence farming but I know how much those machines cost, how growers get tax write offs for them & labor $ they save
Also most of the time here in Texas blueberries go for about $4-$5 a pint. I’m just using the super low amount for the sake of argument.
The commercial growers where I grew up were loaded and basically ran local government & had the sheriff in their pocket
