Book excerpt: Excerpt from Price Spreads Between Farmers and Consumers for Food Products, 1913-44 This publication marks an important step forward in providing cur rent information service to persons interested in the marketing of farm food products. The statistical measures furnished here should go a long way toward filling the demands for information relating to food marketing charges expressed by various groups, including producers, consumers, and middlemen. Our current statistical material is ade quate in the field of production of farm products, but it has been notice ably deficient in the equally important field of activity in which the mar keting of these products from farmers to consumers is performed. The material presented here represents comprehensive revision and expansion Of series which have been published in the past, dealing with marketing charges and price spreads between farmers and consumers of food products, and includes a number of new series and comparisons. It is planned that all series carried in this publication be maintained and published currently as one of the service activities of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
