Benson Reports Price Spread Up Since 1945 at 83 Percent
Secretary Benson said the gap between what farmers receive and what housewives pay has risen 83 percent since 1945. A study cites higher handling costs from farm to market as the main cause. The report notes the farm share of the consumer dollar fell from 53 percent in 1943 to 31 percent in 1955. Farmer income has declined while farm prices lag behind costs of marketing services.
