Diesel

Watching the price of fuel most people think in terms of filling up their car but at one time I worked in a lab in a flour mill and that is different. The farmer uses diesel to prepare the fields, plant and harvest the wheat. Then he trucks it to the local elevator where it is then trucked to the flour mill. The flour is the trucked to the bakery and then the bread is trucked to the super market. The price of diesel has increased by $2 per gallon and this will be reflected in the cost of bread. I do the shopping and I always buy wheat bread at Walmart. A year ago it was 87 cents per loaf and now it is $1.35. Much of this has to be the cost of diesel.
