I hope some of you will be interested in this scraper:

http://scraperwiki.com/scrapers/usda_fruit_veg_commodities/

It's a daily scrape of source city, destination city, low price, high price and item size for fruit & veg commodities and categories at USDA.

Scraper is not quite perfect but neither is the source data. It should make for some interesting viz and analysis, though.

Best,

Kevin

Separate but related: I'm shacking up at a co-working space at CfA on Friday.
