Inflation, affluence, and farming cited in Poage report
The Peage Committee notes rising consumer demand driven by higher wages and more working wives, fueling an inflationary spiral. Beef and farm output have doubled, while farmers keep only about 40 cents of each food dollar. Despite prices, Americans spend a smaller income share on food than most nations, thanks to agricultural productivity gains from tech and chemicals. The report cites per capita meat demand, farm input costs, and investments needed to sustain farms. The West News also notes a bigamist mentioned in local coverage.
