As of September 6, 2009 corn is $3.06/bushel!
US average price received by farmers, all wheat types was $7.44 per bushel in 2011.
The US commodity markets have a somewhat different convention for showing the current price of the commodities. The price for corn, for example, might be shown as 362.50, or as 362'5 or even 36250, but they all mean $3.625 US per bushel at the commodity market. Keep in mind that the Chicago market, for instance, sells only in 5,000 bushel lots, and that any local buyer or seller will have a "distance from destination" charge, commonly called "basis", which will be taken off the market price.
It depends on where you are in the world. For example, the average price paid to US farmers in 2011 was $6.20 per bushel. But if you were an end user, you probably paid more than that due to the costs of marketing and transportation.

You can go to a farmers market and price carrots.
In US commodity marketing lingo, "basis" is what they call the difference between the Chicago cash price and the price paid directly to a farmer at a local elevator. In general, basis accounts for the costs of transportation to the final terminal at, say, New Orleans. For example, if the Chicago cash price is $8.39 per bushel, and some elevators in central Iowa are offering to buy corn from farmers at $8.02 per bushel, then the basis is $0.37 (37 cents) per bushel. This is the amount the elevators must keep to cover their costs of loading and transporting the grain.
There's the last bushel of corn! I wonder what the price of a bushel of beets would be today.
