Farmers not Getting Rich From High Grocery Prices
Farm Bureau leader Mrs. Eugene Jones told about 50 city housewives at the Old South cafeteria luncheon that Americans now spend about 17 percent of income for food, down from 22 percent 15 years ago, and that farmers receive only 42 cents of every grocery dollar.
