Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services A war halfway around the world is going to take a huge bite out the wallets of Arizonans this Thanksgiving.
What’s causing much of that spike is the war in Ukraine, which has historically been a major world grain producer. The conflict and an on-again, off-again Russian blockade has tightened international supplies and driven up prices.But it’s not just that. People are also reading… Julie Murphree, outreach director for the organization, said the National Turkey Federation figures that will affect supply by 2%.Indeed. Shoppers from the organization found the average price of a 16-pound turkey topped $32. That alone is 65% higher than the cost for the same bird a year ago.
“The cost to produce those items have increased exponentially,” said Stefanie Smallhouse, a cattle rancher, alfalfa and specialty crop farmer from Pima County. And she said that because of the “complexities of our food system” the average farmer is generally not getting more money for their products.All that, for example, adds up to that 14-ounce box of stuffing setting you back $3.93. That’s $1.15 more than you would have paid last year.
