I agree with Mike. People sometimes think no expense and no time goes into certain productions. Well, corn - or any produce - is not a weed, it does not grow itself.
I can draw a parallel with other professions - especially the arts. Some folks ask me "Can I have that photo to frame?" You just shot the image, after two hours in a swamp waiting for the right capture. Then you shoot it with $10,000 worth of equipment, then process it, then print it. But, of course, you just spent one second clicking the shutter, so should give it away. I also frown at "You're a photographer, can you shoot our wedding? It will save us $3000 hiring a Pro."
Same with Farmers. Get up before dawn, work all day. Drive a $50,000 tractor, and of course, the corn then grows itself and farmers can give it away. Take a second job nights to pay the mortgage and the equipment payments.
