Food price hike seen driven by middlemen not farms
The Agriculture Department said rising middleman costs for transporting processing and selling food after it leaves the farm will lift retail prices through 1972. The market basket cost averaged 1288 dollars for January through March, up 2.8 percent from late 1971, with farm values and middleman shares shifting in March.
