The gap between retail prices and on-farm returns remains one of agriculture’s clearest economic pressures. 🌾📊
When producers receive only a small share of the food dollar, the impact shows up quickly at the operational level through tighter margins, harder cost decisions, and more pressure on long-term profitability.
