Farm share of food dollar may drop in 1962 says Ag Dept
The Agriculture Department projects the farmer's share of the consumer food dollar falling to 37 cents in 1962 from 1961. Marketing charges are seen 1-2 percent higher per unit, with little change in prices farmers receive and a slight rise in retail prices. The report notes higher first half profits for firms in food and kindred products and similar sales volumes for leading retail chains. The department also lifts the 1961 feed grain ban on diverted acreages to allow grazing and will buy canned beef and pork for an experimental National School Lunch Act program in needy areas.
