The Rural Voice, 1991-01, Page 7(ALmnR) FEEDBACK other countries, the value of food is lowered in those countries, which has a direct and detrimental effect on their economies. The issue is not efficiency of pro- duction. We too often get sidetracked into that discussion. Of course, we have to operate efficiently. The point is that basic raw grain has to be priced at parity with the rest of the economy. We have gotten too hung up with consumerism in this country. The price a consumer has to pay for a product is only half the equation. Where does the consumer get the money to buy the product? A prosperous economy depends on raw materials being priced right (not cheap). If farmers, foresters, fisher- men, miners etc. get proper prices, then they will spend the money that generates prosperity through the whole economy. Who creates new wealth? Think about it.
