Food Costs Up 3 Last Year, OSC Economist Notes Consumers paid 3 percent more to fill their market baskets with farm-produced foods last year. The farmer's share of the food dollar, however, remained the same, reports Mrs Elvera Horrell, Oregon State college extension economist. For the first time in six years, the farm share kept pace with the rise at the retail level. These reasons for higher price es are given by the college econ omist: In general, she says, farmers got higher prices for the pro ducts that went into the bas ket, marketing charges were higher, and farm food products carried higher price tags on the grocers' shelves. Costs to assemble, process and distribute farm foods are up, she declares. Freight and railroad rates, hourly earnings of food marketing employees, and prices of other goods and services that marketing firms buy are higher. But consumers enjoy extra serv ices and conveniences and are willing to pay for them, Mrs Horrell adds. All food groups, except poultry and eggs, carried higher market ing charges. Meat products charg es increased the most, with fats and oils and bakery and cereal products not far behind. Marketing costs are quite inde pendent of the supply and de mand that pushes and pulls on farm prices, according to Mrs Horrell. Marketing costs, which are reflected in retail prices, oft en remain quite rigid, even when the farmer gets less for farm food, she explains. ' The "market basket" figures are based on the average quant ities of farm-produced food pro ducts purchased by moderate in come families.
