BS! Go tell that to other farmers. They are the only ones left who believe that nonsense. I have the net and can fact check you. You the farmer market the same as always. You take whatever they will give you. So other than production levels you have no control over the cost of food. Plus fact check where the money for food was going to even back then. It wasn't to the farmer. What happened was automation. Needed fewer workers at the elevator. Needed fewer workers unloading grain from trains. Needed fewer workers at the plants that processed food. Sure what they paid for commodities has to be included but they were not paying that much. The drop from 30% in 1950 to 19% in 1960 had nothing to do with the farmer. 1: people were making more money so that had the biggest effect. 2: production cost went down as they eliminated workers. Heck in 1970 a fair amount of grain was shipped in box cars that had to be unloaded with laborers. Today almost all grain is shipped in covered hoppers. Go into the factories. Look at the automation. You can look it up to. How stuff is made should give you a good idea. Millions of loaves of bread hardly any human interaction.
