Food prices may hit record highs next year says USDA
Washington AP reports the Agriculture Department warns fuel price pressures and stronger consumer demand could push food prices to or above the 1948 summer peak by mid year.

The department sees larger supplies but not enough to match demand and notes no current need for farm price controls.
