Farmers Share Of
Consumer's Food
Dollar Is Small
The small portion of the con
sumers food dollar that finds its
way back to the farmer is noted
in the updated issue of “Food
Costs—Farm Prices” by the
House Agriculture Committee,
and will provide food for
thought for those who want
farther cuts in the farm pro
gram, continuation of high taxes
and interest, and removal of the
7 percent investment tax credit
for small farmers. “Many people
find it hard to believe,” said Con
gressman W. K. (Bob) Poage
(D-Tex), the committee chair
man, “that the farmer is actually
getting less per unit for some
basic commodities, such as com
and wheat, than he did some 20
years ago. But that is a fact And
at the same time he is having to
put out three to four tunes as
much for farm implements and
machinery and materials that go
into production ”
The publication documents in
details the sorry story of Jiow
farmers are victimized in the
economy The farmer gets only
2.6 cents for wheat that goes in
to a 22 4-cent loaf of bread The
baker and wholesaler get 123
cents, the retailer 4.6 cents, and
and other hard varieties, if
tightly wrapped and refrigerat
ed, will keep several months
