Food costs rise hit Greene County families hard
Labor Department figures show food prices up over 20 percent in ten years with about half of that increase in the last three years. In Greene County the annual food bill rose by about 84 dollars per family, from 75 to 82 dollars per month, while national and Indiana increases average near 96 to 97 dollars. The analysis notes higher labor and marketing costs, dwindling surpluses, and rising demand as drivers, with 1967 expected to see continued but slower price moves.
