<\/a>\u201cStrong supplies of milk, beef and eggs are having a beneficial impact for grocery shoppers,\u201d said Amy Eckelberg, spokesperson for the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation.<\/p>\nAn over-supply of milk has had a dampening effect on the price Wisconsin dairy farmers receive for their milk. The reduced price has been passed on to shoppers. Shredded mild cheddar cheese decreased by 7.4 percent (from $4.35 to $4.03 per pound) during the past year while a gallon of whole milk dropped 2.1 percent (from $3.32 to $3.25) from last fall\u2019s survey.<\/p>\n
One dozen large, Grade A eggs averaged $0.96 per dozen in this survey, compared with $0.98 last fall and $1.34 last spring.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe outbreak of Avian Influenza in 2014 and 2015 was a huge disruption to the poultry industry and the price of eggs soared to historic levels,\u201d Eckelberg said. \u201cAs egg supplies have returned to more average levels, we see grocery shoppers benefiting at the checkout.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe beef industry has also recovered after a period of reduced supplies and historically high prices worldwide,\u201d Eckelberg noted. \u201cWe see this reflected in our survey as the two beef items, ground chuck and sirloin tip roast, both saw price decreases of 5.8 percent and 6.4 percent, respectively, since last fall.\u201d<\/p>\n
The survey\u2019s items that have seen the greatest price increases since last fall were: a box of Cheerios, one pound of bacon, 20-ounce loaf of white bread and one half-gallon of orange juice.<\/p>\n
WISCONSIN\u00a0SURVEY PRICE IS LESS THAN NATIONAL AVERAGE<\/strong><\/p>\nWisconsin\u2019s $48.98 Marketbasket is $1.05 less than the American Farm Bureau Federation\u2019s national survey of the same 16 food items. AFBF\u2019s survey rang in at $50.03 (2.1 percent difference).<\/p>\n
FARMER\u2019S SHARE IS JUST $7.84<\/strong><\/p>\nDuring the last three decades, retail grocery prices have gradually increased while the share of the average dollar spent on food that farm families receive has dropped. In the mid-1970s, farmers received about one-third of consumer retail food expenditures in grocery stores and restaurants. Since then that number has decreased steadily and is now about 16 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Using that percentage across the board, the farmer\u2019s share of this quarter\u2019s $48.98 grocery bill is $7.84.<\/p>\n
The USDA says Americans will still spend approximately 10 percent of their disposable annual income on food, the lowest average in the world.<\/p>\n
The Marketbasket survey is a quarterly look at the trends in food pricing in Wisconsin in relation to changing farm prices, weather and wholesale and retail food marketing. Members of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau collected price samples of 16 basic food items in communities across Wisconsin in March.<\/p>\n
The Marketbasket Survey is an informal measure of prices at grocery stores in Wisconsin. The prices reported reflect variations in communities and retailers. The prices reported are not validated by any outside source. Prices were collected for this survey in the communities of Ashland, Beaver Dam, Beloit, Black River Falls, Chilton, De Pere, Dodgeville, Edgerton, Elkhorn, Ellsworth, Elroy, Fond du Lac, Kewaunee, Lodi, Manawa, Manitowoc, Marshfield, Medford, Mequon, New London, New Richmond, Paddock Lake, Platteville, Plover, Richland Center, Saukville, Shawano, Sparta, Union Grove, Waterford, Watertown, Waukesha, West Bend and West Salem.<\/p>\n
