Farming must be the one of the few industries that have to buy inputs at retail prices, yet sell produce at wholesale ones. And the prices of inputs are only going up, while the average prices we get for produce hasn't improved too much over the last 30 years "here" - not sure about in the U.S. ?
"The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways." John F. Kennedy |
