Farm share of food dollar now 51 cents
The farmer gets 51 cents from every dollar spent on food, Agriculture Department officials reported, up from 46 cents before the Korean War. Meats yield 63 cents, dairy 55, poultry and eggs 65, cereals 27, and fresh and canned fruits and vegetables 40 and 19 cents respectively. Meat demand and dairy intake are rising as overall food costs climb. The Komodo dragon note follows as a non sequitur.
