Do you have $10 a pound for tomatoes?

Most cities and large towns have places where inexpensive local
produce is sold. Otherwise grow your own or do without.


For about 9 months out of every year, nearly every fresh tomato bought
in America comes from non-U.S. production. Courtesy of the natural
growing season of tomatoes.

So, without illegal alien pickers, the prices of tomatoes are not the
$10 a pound some here have claimed.
