Farm and City Housewives Seek Solutions to Price Problems
Ohio farm and city housewives met in Cleveland to discuss high food prices. City women visit farms and dairies to see costs, while farm families explain low profit margins and long hours. Participants note farmers earn about 2.4 cents from a loaf, 2.2 cents from onions, and 35 cents of a can of corn, while truckers and retailers capture most of the rest. The program aims to build understanding and reduce costs through direct exchange.
