More money in food: USDA’s food dollar
While I’m thinking about the role of money in food, take a look at USDA’s new food dollar series.
Farm and agribusiness get 11.8 cents on the dollar.
The real money is in adding value through processing (18.6 cents) and food service (33.7 cents).
When farmers complain that it’s hard to make a living, they aren’t kidding.
