Food Price Surge in Frederick County Markets
George Wood says residents are price takers as national trends push food costs higher. Vegetables show sharp gains with potatoes 1.29 per 10 pounds, cauliflower 55 cents, and tomatoes up 8 cents per pound. Beef up 10 cents and pork 20 cents amid higher grain costs, with price relief not seen yet. Weather drives garden produce prices, though midwest and southern crops will ease pressure later. meanwhile local markets note virtually no commercial vegetable crops, homes gardens only. A national market study shows Frederick County residents spend more on food than any other category, reflecting higher retail dollar allocations despite some relief from May to June.
