sportation, Pennsylvania is,
and will become, more and
more self-sufficient in the
production of food for this
area.
“There’s no question m my
mind that people are going to
have to get accustomed to
paying more for food,”
Wemdel states. “I see food
prices rising 10 per cent
annually for the next five
years, that means that food
will be 50 per cent higher by
1985.”
But it’s important for the
consumer to remember that
those spiraling costs aren’t
all tied back to the farmer,

“In 1981, average farm
income will probably be as
good as it was in 1980,”
Weindel reasoned.

costs will continued, and
prices of input commodities

He said he believes that
there should be an abundant
supply of all the raw
materials needed for far
mers to operate.
But, he cautioned, “costs
will continue to go up
because of such factors as
transportation, labor, and
government regulations, as
well as other factors.
“Most farmers will need to
plan their operation very
carefully,” he cautions.
“They will have to be careful
they don’t overextend
themselves financially, and
they will have to keep their
current bills paid.”
