Wilcox study links farm price declines to higher food costs
Dr. Walter W. Wilcox analyzes farm price declines versus steady 1952 peak retail food prices. He notes farmers receive about 44 cents of each domestic food dollar, with 30 cents for inputs, and argues lower farm prices have not reduced consumer food costs. He cites wheat, corn, oats, milk, butterfat and dairy trends since 1945.
