    I just found out that the price of wheat right now is about the same as it was in 1972. $4.86 a bushel. A loaf of bread in 1972 cost 25 cents. Bread has gone up by a factor of ten since then, but the farmer has gotten none of that money. Something is seriously wrong

      > A bushel of wheat can make at least 50 loaves of bread, which means the cost of the wheat in a loaf of bread is only about ten cents. In other words, we could pay our farmers double, and the price of bread would barely rise.

      Have you looked at a loaf of breads ingredients list lately? Somebody has to pay for all those chemicals. Bread isn’t bread anymore. I agree with farmers being paid more, but until the FDA is abolished and an actual food safety system eliminates UHP foods, we’re getting nowhere.
