Owner
Despite consecutive
record farm export
years in 1979 and 1980,
food prices are still
running two percent to
three percent below
general rate of inflation.
Between 1960 and 1980
food prices mcreased
less than other major
necessities - energy,
housing, transportation
and medical costs.
During this period: if
red meat prices had
mcreased at same rate
as energy prices, then
round steak would now
cost $4.04 per pound,
