So, asking for a friend, when you buy a bag of flour at the grocery store, how much of the price went to the wheat farmer?

Where the Stars Wars “It’s a trap” dude? :)

I’ll try using these numbers:

Wheat futures are $10/bushell
45 lbs of flour per bushell

For a 40lb bag of flour costing $17, the farmer gets $10, which would be 58 percent of the price.
