U S Agriculture Department data show a typical American family spent 1900s dollars on farm produced foods in 1976 3.2 person household. The 1 percent increase from 1975 marks the smallest rise since 1967 as middlemen capture most of the growth while farmers’ share falls. Consumers paid 19 more for market basket goods, with total food costs including restaurants rising about 3 percent in 1976 and projected 3 to 4 percent in 1977.
