Bread price records rise as costs shift through market
Washington AP reports that a one pound loaf of white bread cost 36 cents in March, up from 28 cents in 1971 and 24.8 cents in 1971, with the three year rise tied to grain export driven price pressures. Farm wheat value rose 19 percent while retail bread costs climbed about 46 percent. The 1975 price peak followed spiraling prices after export sales to the Soviet Union and others.
