Complete catalog record
Examines the effects of consolidation in the food industry upon consumers and farmers. Points out that although the cost of food has multiplied, production costs have stayed relatively stable, with the farmer now receiving only 4.3 cents per box of cereal and the manufacturers realizing 20% profit plus 20% for advertising. Reveals that 1/3 of the 1960 farmers have quit because of the influx of outside corporations which use farming for a tax write-off.
