others an hours wages buys more than it did of every dollar 22 cr its is spent on food in spite of this food needs still make a largo financial drain on the family in the low income bracket the farmer ob jects to a cheap food policy and noone b1ams him there is also a stigma of in fenonty in shoppers minds when thye hear cheap food one big step forward was the government conference at vine land to study farm income she said often policii set up by the government don i help anyone but the big farmer who is al ready doing well consumers suoport whole hearlcdly a policy lo improve and promote efficient farming but they don t feci th can help support the low income in efficient farmer consumer think of farmrs leaving their farms nd wonder where their nice thick sfaks and fresh vegetables are going lo come from they have a number of justi fiablc complaints about the food thev buy buyers may not be wise in dmanding too much standardization of quality and packaging of the product flav r n often sacrificed so food can be marketed sooner too much stress is put on appear ance rather than quality of food content farmers could improve their products by improving fla or and watching
