Skyrocketing price of food has consumers scrambling By Georgina Gustin ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 01/27/2008
Prices
Pilgrims' Acres is also affected by rising feed costs. We have not raised prices in 5 years. After reviewing our 2007 sales,
we determined that our cost for feed had crept up, causing our profit to evaporate. Most of the chickens you purchased from
us in 2007 were sold at a loss. So, this year's price increase is steep. Perhaps we should have raised it earlier, but we
wanted to keep our prices as low as possible. But, the cost of food is rising everywhere, and we're running this business
to provide for our children. We hope you can see fit to include us in your budget this year.
