Eye on Ag - Food Prices

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 23:39:40 -0400

They’re the things you likely buy each trip to the supermarket but the prices have gone up considerably. Shaun Sipma reports... We as Americans have and continue to enjoy the cheapest food in the world. On average we spend less than 10 percent of our income on food but in recent months we've seen the prices at the supermarket climb higher and higher. (Lori Scharmer, NDSU Family Economics Extension Agent) We know that food prices are rising and rising faster this year than they have in the past. Generally we're looking at a 2 1/2 percent increase in food. And they're telling us in the past year that a family of four in America is now paying about 50 dollars more a month for their food than they have in the past. NDSU Family Economics Agent Lori Scharmer says the increase on the food dollar is being caused by a number of different factors and while one can't be pin pointed as the sole cause, they are all playing a part. (Lori Scharmer, NDSU Family Economics Extension Agent) One of them is there's a stronger demand for food around the world and we have developing nations who's economies are increasing and their people are getting more personal income and so they're able to buy more food. We also have the situation where some of our grains are being diverted to ethanol production. We also have the cost of oil and the cost of oil affects prices of everything including food. Add to that list an increase in grain prices. Market Analysts says the reason behind the ag commodity run-up is world supplies have been depleted to levels not seen since the early 1980's and even with the higher prices farmers take on the food dollar is still only about 20 cents. (Lori Scharmer, NDSU Family Economics Extension Agent) So when you get a combination of those issues and cost of food is going to go up. Scharmer says family's can keep their costs in check at the table by simple watching for sales, using coupons and cutting back on the number of times they eat out a week. She says a positive thing to keep in mind is that we are not short on the supply or variety of food and that our food supply is the safest in the world. (Lori Scharmer, NDSU Family Economics Extension Agent) So even though the price of food is going up and yes it's going to hurt the bottom line for families we need to remember that we have it very good as far as food.

Dealing with the cost of diesel

Sat, 15 Dec 2007 15:50:52 -0500

The price of diesel has are farmers and truck drivers feeling the pinch. It’s a sign many truckers are not happy to see. Three dollars and twenty nine cents for a gallon of diesel is the highest price in the lower forty eight states. Brad Feldman shows us how the high prices are putting a strain on haulers. It's like the blood for trucks (Bruce Stout/ Hauls RVs) I've never paid this much for diesel. Stout makes a living on the Interstate highways hauling RVs. He's seen the price of diesel in Alaska rise to a high of four dollars and twenty five cents a gallon. But what he is seeing today is nothing like he has seen in the lower forty eight. (Bruce Stout/ Hauls RV) This is the first place that weve paid this much. 3.02 is the highest I ever paid. The high prices are beginning to create a problem for truckers like Stout. He says when prices are this high it means less money coming in for each delivery. (Bruce Stout. Hauls RVs) You gotta be able to pay for your truck and stuff like that to do it. I dont know how some of these young guys who are pulling rvs for a living how they are making it. I just dont. As Stout has made his way across the country he has heard the rumors of why prices are going up so quickly. However, he has his own ideas... (Bruce Stout/ Hauls Rvs) Its not a shortage. You'll never make me believe it. Its all politics. Whatever the reason. Stout just keeps trucking Down the road to deliver this RV. Hoping the next time he stops the price has come down to a reasonable level. Brad Feldman KX News Diesel prices in the state have hit a record high in Grand Forks over the weekend of about three dollars and forty two cents a gallon.
