Bankhead criticizes rising food costs in Alabama
Jasper August 16 The longtime advocate of higher farm prices Senator John Hollis Bankhead says food costs have risen too high focusing on vegetables and meats. He blames price spikes on a few crops while noting basic staples like corn peanuts and wheat remain reasonable. Representative Henry Steagall agrees and cites 110 percent parity as a past target. Bankhead sees a brighter side arguing total food spending as a share of income is lower today despite higher prices, with families having more money after purchases due to larger homes.
