Groceries went up 65%?? Because of the price of corn? How ridiculous can they get? The price of any grown commodity such as corn or wheat or soybeans has such a small effect on the price of groceries it is unbelievable. The price of groceries is up because of the price of fuel and the wages that must be paid to get those groceries to market. Here it is again. The farmer is getting rich off of the consumer! Yeah, right. The farmer gets the least profit from the stuff he grows! The rest is all because of the middlemen. from grain brokers to the companies that make the product from the grain to the delivery (trucking etc) companies to the store selling the finished profit. How much do you all think the farmer gets from the cost of a loaf of bread? Half?? The farmer could only wish! More like 3-4 cents per loaf of bread goes to the farmer. The rest is all the other people who live off of the sale of the bread.
Oh well
