Have you been feeling like the price of food is much higher all of the sudden? If so, you’d be right. A recent agricultural post from the Cattle Network compares the price of various food stuffs between May 2007 and May 2008.
I’ve mostly heard dairy prices rising, and while eggs and milk are up, it seems the field crops are getting slammed the most. We shouldn’t be surprised there have been constant articles about the wheat prices rising and the whole world is still looking for rice.
p.s. Who knew there was a Cattle Network: The Source for Cattle News? Wow, I love it. I’m making it my browser default homepage!

It truly has come on like a sudden splitting headache. The sad part is, the expensive hippie co-op here used to be out of my price range, and all of a sudden, their prices are looking fair. People out here, to offset the cost of fruits and veggies, have started using the organic plotting farms where they can grow their own food, and the farmer’s markets have never been more crowded. I’m thinking of opening up my massive veggie garden to neighbors and friends, as I have saved about a hundred dollars so far on fruits and veggies grown in my own soil.
Dr. Food, I’m very jealous of your garden, a luxury most of Manhattan does not have. On top of saving money, I bet your stuff tastes awesome!!
