Bread costs rise as marketing spreads outpace wheat
J Glen Miller of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee says price supports for wheat run little with the higher loaf prices. He notes rising marketing costs—not higher wheat prices—drive retail bread costs. A USDA study on Marketing Spreads for White Bread shows bread prices climbed from 14.3 cents in 1950 to 21.6 cents in 1963, while farm value of wheat remained nearly the same.
