Greens Drive Gas, Not Growers Benefit, Centerville Essay
A Centerville Journal column argues the cost of greens in big cities vs home production. It notes a Texas grower sells greens at 85 a ton, railroads charge 30.66 a ton to Chicago, and consumers pay 300 a ton, with farmers receiving little of the final price. The piece contends similar marksups occur for many goods, urging local production to cut costs.
