Trends in the Marketing Mar-
gin and the Farmer’s Share —
During the 1930’s the farm-
er’s share of the consumer’s
food dollar was as low as 32
cents, and in 1940, at the be-
ginning of World War II, aver-
aged only 40 cents. During the
war period, however, this share
increased rapidly to a record
high on an annual basis of 53
cents in 1945. Farmers received
an increasing share because the
rise in the marketing margin
from 1940 to 1945 was relative-
ly moderate in comparison with
the large increases in farm
prices of food products.
Both the marketing margin
and the farm value of the mar-
ket basket increased sharply
after mid-1946 and continued
to increase through most of
1948. Except for minor fluctua-
tions, the farmer’s share of the
consumer’s food dollar remain-
ed at almost the same level dur-
ing this period.
The farm value of the foods
in the market basket dropped
sharply after the 3rd quarter
of 1948 and continued to de-
cline through 1949 and early
1950. But the marketing margin
did not decline appreciably un-
til late in 1949 and then the
total decline was considerably
less than the decline in farm
value. As a result, th£ farmer’s
share of the consumer’s food
dollar dropped from 51 cents in
the third quarter of 1948 to 46
cents by the second quarter of
1949. Following the outbreak
of hostilities in Korea in mid
1950. the farm price rose rapid-
ly during the latter part of 1950
and the early part of 1951. The
marketing margin rose more
slowly but it continued to in-
crease in almost every quarter
during this period. The farm
value leveled off and later de-
clined. The farmer’s share of
the consumer’s food dollar in-
creased from the pre-Korean
level of 46 cents to 49 cents in
the first quarter of 1951, but it
declined during 1951 and 1952.
At the beginning of 1953 it
stood at 45 cents and remained
at that level durihg the year
1953 and the early months of
1954.

• Family Living in 1955 —
Overall family living costs are
expected to remain about the
same in 1955 as they hav» been
the past three years. While
there have been some shifts up
and down during this period,
they have been small.
Families whose incomes have
remained the same over the
three-year period will have on-
ly a slight adjustment to make
to meet an expected rise in liv-
ing costs in 1955 of 1 percent.
Those with lower incomes will
have a little more trouble in
meeting this slight upward
drift.
Even though the average cost
of living has moved upward,
the prices of some consumer
goods have moved downward.
Increasing and decreasing costs
for family living about cancell-
ed out each other. That also
seems to be the picture for 1955.
There have been considerable
differences in price changes in
various parts of the country,
especially for housing, medical
care, personal care and recrea-
tion. . The result is that while
the overall U. S. average shows
little change, individual fam-
ilies have varying experiences,
depending on where they live
and the goods and service that
are available to them. While
seasonal price shifts are expect-
ed in food, the net conclusion
is for stable food costs in 1955.
Prices for home furnishings
have been going down but only
by a very small amount. Prices
i for some kinds of equipment
decreased, such as radios, re-
frigerators and washing mach-
ines. Price decreases for TV
sets have attracted wide atten-
tion. Price changes in equip-
ment are diffcult to interpret
because such items have be-
come more elaborate over the
years.
Automobile prices were a lit-
tle lower in 1954 but the price
direction has been upward since
1950.
The most significant trend in
family living costs expected for
1955 is the upward movement
of service costs such as rent and
medical care.
