It’s no mystery. A handful of wholesalers fix the price every Monday. And I mean fix. It’s all done in unison. Not one ever varies. Their only goal is to stretch the spread between the farmer and end user.

Think of it like a commodity

Miners don’t set the price of gold

O&G companies don’t set the price of oil

Corn, rice, wheat, etc

True statement! Every Monday 'Let's drop it a quarter." Why? Because they can and they are the major buyers by a long shot.

All you need to do is identify who these price fixers are , and you have a hell of an anti-trust class action suit.
But calling you out to actually name the folks you claim are doing this is a bridge too far, i suppose...
