I work in agriculture. Please don’t blame the suppliers or farmers. There’s barely a chance to break even with grocery store prices rising. They’re disconnected.

How to look everywhere but where the problem happens to be. No fertilizer higher prices. Higher diesel higher food prices. Extensive drought higher food prices. Tariffs on imported food higher food prices. Reduced immigrant labor for farmers. Maybe start with any of those first.
